I've found maven to be useful.

It also lets me deal with dependencies in a decent manner. Maven should not be downloading dependencies on every build unless you are using SNAPSHOT versions.
There is a free book available:

- samstokes 17y agoThanks very much for linking to the book - that will be very useful. (I know Maven doesn't actually redownload everything each time, but it does seem to do something on the internet every time I build without -o; and even with -o, it still seems slow to get going. Might be project-specific / PEBCAK error though.)
