Resurrecting dead software, Apache Maven and alike.
Reposted by Tamas Cservenak
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 ;)

Or, instead of guessing/sleuthing, just use toolbox 😉

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

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.

Blinded by speed... Reminds me of "format wars" in 2010 between two major MRMs that ended up today as the worst, grinded to halt.

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).

Sudden and explosive raise of JBang release attempts? 🤣
