----------------------------------------------------------------------

These PPAs may go away, be changed at any time, or not be updated - DO NOT RELY ON THEM, this was just a test.

I worked through the ant build issues (lack of network connectivity on PPA build servers) by including the maven-downloaded jars in the source, then shuffling them to build/lib/ during dpkg-buildpackage. This really is not ideal from a "proper" deb build perspective, but it is functional for dropping nearly identical upstream debs in a PPA.

Trusty (14.04) and Precise (12.04) are supported (not going to bother with any non-LTS releases).
