Yes, it is very impressive in fact. Of course the journey starts here.

Maven provides similar functionality as rubygems, e.g.

  http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/junit/junit

this could mean we can write an import command that fetches 
dependency info from maven.

It looks like we can tell maven to find jars on the local 
system. Jars we have built already. So we can use it as a 
build system. I think that is a prerequisite.

Even so, getting all these jars built is going to be quite a job...
