Created from patch provided by @iloveeclipse, but only with significant
changes.

Great that this is merged!

How does the new artifact get into Maven Central? Should the issue also be closed?

[davidburkhart]

It seems that it is not clear, who is maintaining the maven artifact, as it is not the author of jdepend. I would appreciate it too if somebody could create a release on maven central.
Btw. the version number in build.xml would have to be adjusted before.

Btw, there's a fork from @nidi3 available on Maven Central that includes various fixes: https:/nidi3/jdepend

    <dependency>
      <groupId>guru.nidi</groupId>
      <artifactId>jdepend</artifactId>
      <version>2.9.5</version>
    </dependency>
