I have not, but the few Java packages I contributed were added because
they are needed to bootstrap dependencies that eventually lead to Maven.
You may find that to package the Apache Commons libraries you need to
dig deeper and package seemingly unrelated libraries first.

Many Java packages bundle dependencies or depend at build time on
binaries that are not easy to build from source.  I’d be happy if we had
more people looking at how to package more of Java.
