Hey, I'm a build engineer with a considerable amount of "Maven-fu" :). I've actually generated a patch that does everything you want (and a bit more). I'm not that familiar with git's command line yet, so it's a bit tricky to get the patch thing right. However, here's a rough overview of what I did:

ROOT

README
/bin
  bash.env   -- A script that you can source from Bash that
                will add the 'jgit' executable and the other
                scripts in this 'bin' directory to your PATH
  build.sh   -- A general build script, that hides some
                Maven complexities for initiates.
  tag.sh     -- Ok, this is the only thing that will have to 
                be re-written.  It's too tied in with git commands for
                me to fully extract what it's supposed to do.

  TODO
pom.xml      -- A considerable amount of build logic has been
                centralized here.  It references 3 sub-module
                projects, listed below.
/sources
  /jgit-lib
    pom.xml
    /src/main/java....
    /src/test
      /java....
      /resources 
      /exttst   -- Don't know exactly where this goes, as it
                   doesn't seem to be doing much/being run 
                   currently.
  /jgit-pgm
    pom.xml     -- Does the work to do a 'jar-with-dependencies' 
                   so that org.spearce.jgit.pgm.build can be removed.
    /src/main/java....
  /jgit-exec
    pom.xml     -- Actually generates the 'jgit' executable and
                   installs it in ROOT/target/bin, so that it will
                   be on your path after sourcing 'bin/bash.env'
    /src/main/scripts/jgit

I'll try to submit a full patch later, using your conventions.

My appreciation to Shawn for pointing out this thread....
