obtaining debian source from maven project

[g.s.n]

Hi,
I have a project created by maven, and I'm stuck on creating debian source as a previous step for building.
Any one worked on packaging maven projects please advice!.

Note: I tried mh_make, but it pointed to many missing libraries.

Thanks &Regards,
G.N

What is the name of the source tarball you have?

I use debmake for creating a package from source, though. It expects the tarball to be the foo-1.2.3.tar.gz type format. You can install upstream's debmake package on Jessie without trouble. https://packages.debian.org/stretch/debmake

I don't have the tarball yet. The upstream doesn't provide tarball! Do you have any idea how I can build the tarball from the source I already have?
