100% agreed. Whenever I touch npm or pip, I see why Maven (and Gradle) and the Java ecosystem are good the way they are. We're even getting trusted checksums in Maven 4! Like a "proper" package-lock...

In general I avoid doing any #python because each time I try to touch it something (dependency) breaks... bleh... #java @maven.apache.org doesn't have such problems ;)

Ever wondered what a dependency update brings in? Use latest Toolbox to figure out. #maven #java #maveniverse

Maven Resolver Ant Tasks 1.6.0 is soon out. With a huge contribution. This awesome change makes Ant Tasks "feature complete", and it will make Ant users empowered, and also ease the possible transitioning between Ant and Maven. Also, AntBuilder really opens the door to further possibilities! #maven

New Resolver 2.x is shaping (for Maven 4.x):

Apache Maven 3.9.11 is now available for download: buff.ly/DtoHdpM Maven is an #opensource software project management and comprehension tool.

This javadoc was written while thinking of @cowtowncoder.bsky.social and his FasterXML parent POM 😘 github.com/maveniverse/...

Honestly I learned the most (and became a much better dev) when I reinvented the wheel. Built a (simple) ORM instead of just using NHibernate (was a mistake.) Implemented own sorting algo thinking it would do better than built in (it did not.) Built own charting library. Etc All were worth it!!

Maveniverse Njord 0.6.0 is now Java 8: Publish where you want (with Java 8 even)! github.com/maveniverse/... #maven3 #maven4 #maveniverse

If you are a Maven Surefire user and ever wanted a fancy tree output for your tests instead of a bunch of logs, you absolutely should try this.

@lobaorn.bsky.social and @sormuras.bsky.social helped me figure out that an argument file could bypass the Windows limitation. Both Maven and the IDE seem happy so far 🙂

In another (related) direction, all major projects focus on Java 17+, with the same growing pains, and it is nice to see so many issues linking each other. One new issue that I saw this morning was from Netty, from @cstamas.bsky.social regarding using Maven 4: github.com/netty/netty/...
