It's absolutely ridiculous how little these package manager devs looked at Maven.
It predates almost all of them by at least half a decade, has a lot of hard thought knowledge but "Java is icky, Java is enterprise, bleh" and I can't even count how many mistakes Maven fixed back in 2005 I still see in pip, npm, cargo, etc in 2023.
- smeagull 4y agoMy only experience of Maven was fighting it to get a single jar that included everything, and having it redownload every dependence with every single build. I don't think downloading everything is a better solution.
- gladiatr72 4y agoPerhaps the privilege of getting sued by Oracle has something to do with it. I seem to remember Sun (then Oracle) blowing a fair bit of money on lawsuits surrounding Java.
- oblio 4y agoI really doubt that a project by the Apache Software Foundation scared anyone of anything. It would have taken these package manager devs a few days of gratis and lawsuit free research on their laptops to save millions of end users years of pain.
