Bug#602521: maven2: Maven2 relies on various things...

[Tom Parker]

Package: maven2
Version: 2.0.9-2
Severity: important

Trying to run maven for the first time, I get the following

palfrey at missfun:[/tmp] mvn archetype:create \
  -DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
  -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \
  -DartifactId=my-app
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/codehaus/classworlds/Launcher
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher
	at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)

	at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:248)
Could not find the main class: org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher.  Program will exit.

Installing libclassworlds-java gets me to

At which point I gave up and upgraded maven2 to 2.2.1-5, which seemed to
sort out things...
