That looks perfectly reasonable as a separate project.

It allows running Maven nicely.

Maven is a build tool; it is _not_ restricted to building Java projects.

It makes sense for people using Maven to build Java projects to use both
jdee and malabar-mode.

They both define the notion of "project"; it would be best if Emacs core
defined an abstract API for projects, malabar mode implemented it, and
jdee used it. Then users could provide maven project files, malabar mode
would parse them, and jdee would use the info for classpath, source
directory list, etc.

That keeps maven specific code out of jdee, which is a Good Thing.

There is a branch for just such work in Emacs git; now would be a good
time to try it.
