disclaimer: I know nothing of maven, but...
hmm, this sounds a lot like it could make use of g-common from last
years gsoc. G-common is a universal overlay/ebuild generator for
converting one packaging system into gentoo's by using drivers for the
format being scanned. I have added g-common repository type into
layman-9999. Currently g-common and the g-cran driver is in the science
overlay as app-portage/g-cran.
For more info contact bicatali (project mentor) and/or Auke Booij
<auke@tulcod.com> the student creator for more detail about it.
