you would only want them if you already know you need them.
I wonder if people have opinions on the best way to package these. It
seems to me the options are:
javapackages-tools and javapackages-local have many small programs in
/usr/share/java-utils.
Most of the programs are called from rpm-macros:
$ rpm --eval '%{mvn_build}'
/usr/bin/python3 /usr/share/java-utils/mvn_build.py
But they can be called directly and makes them good for debugging and
testing, many of the programs also have man pages:
$ whereis mvn_build
mvn_build: /usr/share/man/man7/mvn_build.7.gz
