Maven, where your build script is actually declarative XML that might or might not run. Maven, which spends a minute contacting random servers all over the world only to tell you there is a closing tag missing.
I still have a repository where Surefire (hah) refuses to run any tests. Impossible to debug. No, that pile won't be missed.
