The unbelievable irony I'm observing with the Java-based things I need to deploy these days (Jenkins and Gerrit related) are that quite often they're making me build something, which then fails due to weird maven issues I don't understand (since I haven't been a Java dev since the ant days).
The entire point of java was that bytecode is portable, it's "write once, run anywhere". Don't make me build your stupid .jar and figure out all your dependency / build-time issues, just give it to me!
