in the maven-surefire spec file there are these problems

%add_to_maven_depmap org.apache.maven.surefire maven-surefire-plugin %{version} JPP/maven-surefire maven-plugin
%add_to_maven_depmap org.apache.maven.surefire maven-surefire-report-plugin %{version} JPP/maven-surefire report-maven-plugin
instead of
%add_to_maven_depmap org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-plugin %{version} JPP/maven-surefire maven-plugin
%add_to_maven_depmap org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-report-plugin %{version} JPP/maven-surefire report-maven-plugin
