Maven is actually pretty behind in terms of JVM dependency resolution. Mill uses Coursier, same as my last company did, and when my last company switched from Maven to Coursier we saw a 2 order of magnitude speedup, with resolution commands that used to take 30min finish in a few seconds to give the exact same artifacts and versions. I actually have no idea why these other resolvers are so slow, or why Coursier is so fast, but this slowness is very much a "maven" or "gradle" thing rather than a "jvm" thing. And Mill using coursier does significantly better!
