Maven 2 also is a nice concept that supports transitive dependencies. It has a few flaws, like:
1. dependencies are only defined for artifacts like jars

If it's only 20 KB, it can be embedded in the application itself. That would be level-1....]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:41:55 -0400 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:41:55 -0400 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:41:55 -0400 Apr 25, 2008 Hans Dockter 0 Re: Why not Java? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=49165
I think even simple builds benefit from a directed acyclic graph to organize the tasks.

The build for really simple projects could be defined by the directory structure (as in Maven). Then you don't need to define...]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:24:26 -0400 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:24:26 -0400 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:24:26 -0400 Apr 25, 2008 Hans Dockter 0 Re: Why not Java? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=49165 I think even simple builds benefit from a directed acyclic graph to organize the tasks....]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 13:29:11 -0400 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 13:29:11 -0400 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 13:29:11 -0400 Apr 25, 2008 Thomas Mueller 2 Re: Why not Java? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=49165 I didn't want to say that Gradle is 'bad' (how could I, I didn't even test it). From what you describe it certainly has a lot of features and I am not a Java fanatic (I like to learn Scala when I have time). But for very simple projects it is...]]> Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:41:21 -0400 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:41:21 -0400 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:41:21 -0400 Apr 25, 2008 Hans Dockter 3 Re: Why not Java? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=49165
