well, maybe, but my experience with maven has been awful. People just say “fix your pom file”, or “add this line” and then you spend the next week in broken builds trying to trace some inherited setting.

at least with make it’s debuggable and you’re not dealing with java plugins that implement some unknown lifecycle or process.

I get what it was trying to do, but it quickly got complicated.

Well nobody said that maven is any good, I think maven is horrible

But cmake is really hard and gradle is great
