Description

While running configure:

../configure CXX=clang++ CC=clang

the following is displayed:

[...]
checking whether -pthread is sufficient with -shared... yes
checking for backtrace in -lunwind... no
checking whether or not we can build with JNI... yes
checking for mvn... no
configure: error: Unable to find mvn on your path.

While I do know that the culprit is a missing Maven installation, a quick google on that exact error message only reveals some Mesos specific links. I think it would be great if that error message was a bit more verbose, similar to those we display in cases where dependencies like JNI-headers, Zookeeper or LevelDB are not found.
