0. I tried to package it, but somehow it was more difficult than I
expected and I had other projects. Apache projects have "dependencies"
link on their web page, like this one:
https://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin/dependencies.html
where they list all dependencies.

1. guix graph -t reverse-package (or guix graph -t reverse-bag), see
guix graph --list-types for more options.

The installed pom contains the following:

<parent>
 <artifactId>doxia</artifactId>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven.doxia</groupId>
 <version>2.0.0-M2</version>
 <relativePath>../pom.xml</relativePath>
</parent>

If the referenced pom file is not installed, it won't be found by Maven
later when we use it to run the maven-plugin-plugin. See for instance
how the parent pom is installed in java-slf4j-parent, and propagated
from java-slf4j-api (and recursively from java-slf4j-simple).

This top-level pom also has the following, so it should propagate it:

<parent>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
 <artifactId>maven-parent</artifactId>
 <version>34</version>
 <relativePath />
</parent>

We already have it: maven-parent-pom-34.
