Re: [gentoo-soc] [GSoC] Maven integration for Gentoo ebuilds

Hi,
Thank you both Brian and Serkan for the replies. Brian, I'm evaluating
the possibility of using Java-overlay for this project, so any
pointers regarding that clearly helps since I'm new to the
environment.

These days I'm trying to figure out and list the requirements for the
project. The idea page only contain a brief description. I'd very much
appreciate if anyone can give some further information regarding this
idea. I'm little depressed with lesser support because Google Summer
of Code is time-constrained which means I have to do a good initial
research and submit a proposal in a 1 1/2 weeks time. I guess it's
probably because of weekends?

Thanks,
--Kasun
