I'm not sure "plain" Java, although I might have been tempted to use JBang for this. Still, I've been keeping an eye on bld for a while, and I can understand choosing it for such a bespoke build, particularly when Gradle is disqualified. My go-to would always be Maven (and I assume Michael's too?) but I don't think it's a good fit for this. Still, I look forward to Jaroslav's approach with curiosity to what that might look like! > For the, "Who would maintain it"?

That would at least be more in the NetBeans area. That was a plan almost 2 years ago. I have doubts that it's desirable now, for the same reasons it didn't materialize then. An umbrella like Maveniverse (*) for things like this, involving active committers and maintainers, would be a good thing though. * https://maveniverse.eu/ Best wishes, Neil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
