Have a look at the java/eclipse port. It uses a pre-warmed maven
repository that is fetched from github.

You can create a localised repository that only contains the
dependancies required by the project by specifying:
  -D maven.repo.local=/my/local/repo

Once your project builds correctly, you can create a repo as a project
on Github with its contents that can be retrieved with the port for
the build.

Cheers.
