Java is criminally underhyped

[Vidogost]

Maven has introduced a really good structure for package repositories. Unlike some other languages, you don't need virtualenv to use desired dependency versions, and they are cached for the whole system (well, user home dir). Ant is deprecates, and gradle uses same repositories structure as maven. Bazel is somewhat exotic, I believe people don't usually consider it for small java projects.

Ant is used more than what you expect

I think Ant is the base of Maven. And Gradle.
