[The Java Posse] Podcast suggestions?

Javaposse was one my main sources of Java and Techsphere news . I enjoyed the podcast even when there was not real Java news, as there would be some new tech or topic of interest in every episode. Given that the podcast now a days is mainly about round up sessions, I am trying to find out simil

It's a downtime indeed :-( I'm now more on Linux podcasts: Linux Outlaws, Linux Voice, Full Circle, ... those are funny. And interesting - if you're into Linux. And the occasional Scalawags with Dick Wall. But that's Scala. And barely comprehensible when Daniel gets too deep into Type Theory. :-p

My feelings exactly. Every time a new build system comes out, I get excited, I try it and I realize that while it does fix a few things that don't work very well in Maven, Maven still wins overall in usability, productivity, tooling and general support. And yes, I put gradle firmly in that categor

Wow, I'm surprised that people prefer Maven over Gradle. I prefer Gradle for a few reasons: - Way more concise. Gradle has a much cleaner syntax and doesn't require mountains of XML for everything. Each library dependency in a typical Maven pom often uses five lines of XML which is silly. Gradl

All these points were what got me excited about Gradle in the first place but the honeymoon didn't last long (well, actually, it lasted a few years and I'm only now beginning to grow a bit more sour). I thought that Gradle's conciseness was awesome until I realized that even after years of usage,
