[fedora-java] Maven and tomcat

[Mary Ellen Foster]

I've started poking into the requirements for building sesame, and I'm
hitting an issue with Tomcat and Maven on Rawhide. This happens every
time I try to rebuild the slf4j SRPM on Rawhide (as well as in other
cases, but this is an easy reproducer):

Here's the error, which I get with both mvn and mvn-jpp:
Project ID: null:servlet-api:jar:5.5.27

Reason: Cannot find parent: tomcat:tomcat-parent for project:
null:servlet-api:jar:5.5.27 for project null:servlet-api:jar:5.5.27


The package tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api *is* installed and includes a
plausible-looking
/usr/share/maven2/poms/JPP-tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api.pom file.

What's going on? What does Maven want that it's not getting?

Eventually I'll learn to understand and love Maven, I'm sure ... :)
