### --with jh\_maven\_repo\_helper: This DH 7 plugin uses the tools provided by the maven\_repo\_helper package to install the project jars and POM files into /usr/share/maven-repo. It uses the file(s) debian/$package.poms for its configuration, as well as the files debian/maven.rules, debian/maven.ignoreRules and debian/maven.publishedRules. It is designed to work alongside javahelper, and requires the use of the javahelper plugin for DH 7 at the same time. To use this plugin in the rules file, all you need to do is to add those lines to debian/rules: %: dh --with javahelper --with jh_maven_repo_helper $@ As for the plugin --with maven\_repo\_helper, you need to list the POM files and the artifacts to install in debian/$package.poms, but this is done in coordination with the configuration of javahelper. For example, if the .jlibs configuration for javahelper installs the httpunit.jar located in the lib folder into /usr/share/java, libhttpunit-java.jlibs: lib/httpunit.jar Then we need to tell javahelper to install this httpunit.jar file from /usr/share/java into the Maven repository /usr/share/maven-repo libhttpunit-java.poms: debian/pom.xml --usj-name=httpunit
