Aren't you oversimplifying a bit on the non-maven side?
Last I checked when I use make I still have to find and download all dependencies before I can get a working build.
Maven sorts all that.
- three-cups 11y agoFair point. But I'd say the dependency management in maven is actually more of a hassle than it's worth. For me, I understand jars in a lib directory well enough. Dependency management can become complicated pretty fast (e.g. version resolution).
- paulddraper 11y agoYou still need version resolution for jars in a lib directory, whether Maven does it or you do it. Maven just automates the process.
- three-cups 11y agoI guess I never found manual dependency resolution to be that big of a problem.
