The worst thing about maven is that you actually have to use it. The Maven Central website is so bad that I still haven’t difured our how to actually find a package, and building/packaging or even just launching JVM manually is so verbose I never want to do it. There are alternatives but they suck even more (sbt => Scala => additional bloated dependency that’s slow as hell, gradle => need to include the executable in every project + worst backwards compatibility ever ... once I spent an hour hacking gradle versions trying to install & run a project before giving up)
- zmmmmm 6y ago> gradle => need to include the executable in every project Hmmm ... one of the things that kind of made me really stick with Gradle is the wrapper tool that make sit dead easy to bootstrap a build without including gradle in the project. Of course, the first thing the bootstrap does is download gradle, so maybe that's what you mean ... but it's been a small price to pay for me. There are much worse things about gradle ...
