Maven is one of the most stable and "good enough" tools there is -which is why a significant part of software engineers hate it.
If you enjoy using gradle for its customizability and flexibility and power -you are doing it wrong. You have created an overengineered monster I would dread to work with. I don't want to learn groovy, I want to develop applications.
- chii 6y ago> which is why a significant part of software engineers hate it. i used to hate maven - i was a big fan of Ant. But as time went on, i saw how useful maven was. Being _exactly_ the same in every project, requiring the same project file structure, requiring the same build steps, and the same build commands, etc. People who own projects seem to believe their project's build is special and require custom stuff to make it work. It rarely is actually the case. Just shoehorn your project into maven.
