A pure Java 6+ build tool with advanced compiler features including:

  • Extremely fast (faster than all other Java build tools by between 20%-80%)
  • Post processing of output bytecode
  • Zero copy Jar creation
  • Tail-recursion call optimisation
  • Test support via JUnit
  • Dependency resolution via shavenmaven which gives us the following features
    • Pack200 support (10 x faster downloads)
    • Parallel downloads
    • No transitives
  • Supports 100% convention (no build file needed) or customisation in Java code
  • IntelliJ Plugin (For Compiler)

  • Build.java (optional)
  • src
    • META-INF (optional)
      • MANIFEST.MF (optional)
    • com
      • example
        • HelloWorld.java
        • SomeResource.txt
  • test
    • com
      • example
        • HelloWorldTest.java
