I feel your pain, and fully agree. In our work's Java projects, we use
both Maven and Gradle. Gradle is an absolute pain and we often and up
debugging the build system itself. Maven is much simpler, but yes,
compiling our projects (web services) downloads 1000's of JAR files on a
clean environment. It's nuts! The only saving grace, is that
downloads/dependencies all pull from a Maven Central Repository, making
that part painless.
