Having battled the dependency isssues wuith Maven and Buildr on a couple of occasions, I wrote a bunch of scripts for dealing with this stuff and posted it on my blog. And someone responded with this:
Why on the Earth one would use Ruby in order to extract deps from the Java files?! Dude, use the right tool for right purpose.

I notice that it isn't in Fedora, nor is it in JPackage, so I wonder if other members of the team have used it or even know about it. It might help many of the people with dependency issues.
Boy did that last line have a double meaning. Anyway, figured it was worth bringin to peoples attention and getting some feedback. I'm not in Java mode for this project, so I don't have the cycles to spend on it; maybe someone else does.

Hmm...have you tried packaging it for Fedora? Seems like source tarballs are clean of any jar/class files (but ant fails to build it, so I assume you have some dependencies). One way or the other: Best way to have broader audience is packaging your software :-)
Good luck,

Good luck,
I was trying to get a sense of the desire before tackling it. Also, I'm not likely to be in Java mode any time in the near future, so I don't think I'll be willing to put in the time to support it unless there is significant interest.
