The evolution of Java build systems

• mrits 12y ago
  "Unfortunately, build systems require substantial maintenance effort. Kumfert et al. find that on average, build systems induce a 12% overhead on development effort" I can't imagine a build system taking a percentage of overhead. When we have build problems it's usually a junior dev having to stay 30 minutes late to figure out that our github repo is too large.
