Yes, another Java build tool: zolt

Yes, another Java build tool.

I’ve been working on Zolt:
https://github.com/zoltsh/zolt

Would love for people to try it out, break it, give feedback, or help contribute. Still early, so criticism is very welcome. Yes, I use a lot of codex. Focused mainly on the public API. Using it for personal projects so far.

oh great, exactly what the java ecosystem needs, another build tool to join the 47 we already have

checked out the repo though and the public API actually looks pretty clean. what made you go with codex instead of just writing the parser yourself? i see you're dogfooding it on personal projects, has it held up when things get weird with dependencies yet

You forget to mention two tools that are relevant and 45 ones no one knows 😉

There are not so many active used build tools for Java.

One day I will also create my own build tool...
