Probably insane, but if we were sane we wouldn’t be programmers, would we? ; ) I actually sometimes develop Java apps entirely on the command line using only shell scripts (no maven or gradle), so I have to download all the dependencies and resolve all the transitive dependencies myself. It’s a bit time consuming, but I end up discovering a lot of intricacies of some of the libraries I work with that I would never have come across otherwise. You can even debug using jdb, although at times System.out.println is less painful.
