[Debian-med-packaging] Need help to update mhap package (build system changed from ant to maven)

[Afif Elghraoui]

Hi, Java team,

A new upstream release has come out several months ago. I tried at the
time to update the package, but that release changed the build system
from ant to maven and I had great difficulty with that change.

I'm hoping you can help. I've posted my attempt so far to a topic branch
[1]. With the changes I've made there, I get the following error upon
building:

~~~
