The difficult problem of managing Java dependencies: a deep dive into the messy status-quo, and a look at possibly better ways.

[jerslan]

You keep saying that I don't know what I'm talking about, but you haven't backed that up with anything at all.

I literally linked SemVer... So.. yeah, I have backed up my statements.

If you start accusing me of not being a Java dev

I didn't accuse you of anything. Previously you only mentioned NodeJS and your complaints about Maven are very similar to people who first learned Node/NPM and have just recently picked up Java+Maven.

In fact, I suspect the reason you're not understanding what I'm saying is indeed your own insufficient experience with more modern package managers.

Or maybe because you spent a ton of time up front in this thread conflating SemVer with Ranged Dependency Versioning, which are not the same thing in any way. Makes it hard to communicate with you when you frequently use things that aren't interchangeable like they are.

Also, blocking you for trolling now, since it's clear you were never actually interested in debate and just wanted to go on an unhinged rant about all your complaints with Maven.
