Has anyone experimented with creating a module for Maven installs? We use it for building and sometimes deploying our internal software that it may be useful to be able to go out with Ansible and do a build and install. Thoughts?

I’m definitely open to including it.

I recall from (warning: old data) Maven was a little unreliable and benefitted from some retry logic, might want to account for that in the module?
