Details

From the file list:

opt/maven/bin/m2.conf

Should this be in /opt/maven/etc or some place like it instead? It isn't executable, and /etc/profile.d/maven.sh implies (just like the bin in the path) that opt/maven/bin could be in the $PATH.

opt/maven/bin/mvn.cmd
opt/maven/bin/mvnDebug.cmd

Are those Windows scripts? Do we really need them on Arch?

[Personally, I'm not a fan of /opt, and methinks /opt/something/bin rather confuses than helps. That only some files there are symlinked from /usr/bin adds to the puzzle. But I settle for the first two items in this task.]
This task depends upon

I don't know about maven specifically, but /opt is usually used for programs that don't play well with others. Some of these will require a config file in the same dir as the executable (Windows style).

Maven expects m2.conf in bin/. You should report upstream asking FHS maven installation.
