Maven plugin for compiling to bytecode?

While abcl does indeed compile Common Lisp code to JVM bytecode, it
doesn't do such in a manner that is completely interoperable with class
files in general.  This is why we denote such compilation artifacts with
the "%.cls" suffix to avoid such confusion.

Therefore, strictly interpreting your question, such a Maven plugin
would not be very useful.  More broadly, we would like to spend some
reasonable amount of effort on easing some of the entry barriers for
Java-the-language developers attempting to use ABCL with tooling such as
Maven. The first step would be to make [abcl build under Maven in a way
that retains the logic expressed in the Ant build system][393].
Patches to effect this are solicited by any Mavens out there…
