In case anyone else comes across this thread looking for something similar, you can get around this issue and avoid integrating Maven with an FRC project. Create a maven project and set up the POM correctly to pull in the dependencies you want. Once those are in (including all of their dependencies), just save off all of the JAR's and import them into your FRC project. Yes, it's a bit of a pain, and yes, it defeats the whole point of having a dependency management solution like Maven, but it gets you what you want in the end!
