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.

"JBang is the single easiest entry point into java" - appreciate the call-out and love all of Cay Horstmann's JavaOne video explaining many of the recent java improvements to make java useful for day to day scripting.

Java for Small Coding Tasks

For small projects, we often reach for a scripting language, such as Python or Bash, because Java seems too heavy handed. In this interactive presentation, I want to convince you to give Java a try…

Or, instead of guessing/sleuthing, just use toolbox 😉
gist.github.com/cstamas/4455...

This example points Toolbox at any resolvable artifact, resolves it transitively and shows infos.

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

Similar is being said for Maven :D "Maven is dead", "Maven is slow" and i bet, the loudest trumpets of these statements are those who usually know the least (or at least not enough) about the attributed subject.

Nay, maveniverse has tools for _dependency_ upgrade like toolbox:versions etc, this one is for model and POM upgrade (model 4.0.0 to 4.1.0).

Heads up for @sdkman.io and @maven.apache.org users: Seems something got borked up in SDKman and distros are tried (and failed) from wrong URL now:
github.com/sdkman/sdkma...

Apache Maven downloads were changed to wrong URLs · Issue #730 · sdkman/sdkman-db-migrations

Original issue: apache/maven#2471 This PR seem related #724 What is mystery to me, is that 3.9.9 download URL, that was correct, somehow changed to DLCDN?

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!!

It's good to reinvent the wheel sometimes!

Great post by Matthias Endler.

It helps understanding how wheels work, how you can fix them when broken, how to make better wheels if really needed, or how to find creative use cases for wheels by thinking outside the box.
