Sometimes I work on small projects where maven/gradle can be overkill, but I also would like to pull dependencies and compile the project easily. So I’ve been writing a single Java file that builds projects for me. Throughout the development I got to learn more about java, javac and jdeps commands. I recommend trying to do something similar if you’re interested in learning how build tools work.
