How is maven nowadays?
Every time I see an interesting java project, I think about using it, and then I see "maven" and I remember the terrible experiences I had with it.
Has it improved at all in the past 10 years?

- kaba0 3y agoIt usually ‘just works’ on your side. Configuring it properly is also fine, but a bit more involved.
- frant-hartm 3y agoMaven is always more or less the same - you have properties, dependencies, build (plugins), profiles, maybe modules and dependencyManagement if you have multi-module build. That's it, every project is the same. In Gradle there is are infinite number of ways how to configure it. I haven't seen 2 projects done in the same way, when I want to understand a new gradle build, I need to learn few new Greadle (or Groovy) features. Sure, in very complex Maven builds there might be some quirks and some plugins have bugs, but it works so much better than anything else out there.
