> servlets, JSPs, wars and ears Just reading these make me depressed. I'm taking over a JSF project that uses gradle these months which puts even the complicated old spaghetti gulp build files to shame in terms of complexity. Even more confusing is that there are some people who love that complexity. They are actually proud of it! Why would you have a globel gradle file in your $HOME that has project specific configuration? Why does your stupid project only run with some specific Eclipse plugins? Why does it take 2 days of depressing configuration work to have a running instance? I used to love Java! What happened when I wasn't looking!? They tell me "but you do it once!!", I digress.
