im sick of maven now so often whenever i set a program, it can’t read my dependencies. it happens so often and im so annoyed. why does this happen? This happens more often than not, im not sure why. someone please help me resolve tihs issue permanently

Gradle isn't the solution anyway. You just end up trading one set of problems for another. Neither is really intrinsically better than the other, though many people will fight to the death claiming their preferred build tool is.

i just find it really annoying that every time i make a new project, i have to wait 5~ minutes running

mvn clean verify

before starting any project

Indeed, Gradle is usually faster, but I've also always found it more finicky and brittle. It's all tradeoffs. A couple weeks ago I ran into a weird issue where the Gradle daemon refused to run because it couldn't find the Android SDK. I have never done any sort of android development on this machine, yet out of the blue it decided I should have it.

yeah, that hapened to me too! It was an old project that was in offline mode, and it stopped working while i had no net, and i was so annoyed and confused

Did you find a solution? I ended up manually overwriting the wrapper to a newer version, which seemed to work, but I'm still not sure what the problem was.

i deleted the project 😂

I've always like the nuclear solution 😆

I actually ran into that exact same issue last weekend (it was expecting an Android SDK), and the solution was also upgrading the wrapper :troll:

i feel like gradle is like a 90% complete solution, and i can never remember how it all works, it’s kind of confusing

Weird, it must have been much more widespread than I thought. Now I really want to know what triggered it.

It happened to me around the time I was trying to update to the Kotlin 1.3 RC from an earlier version (1.2.1 or something?) I also had a couple of new libraries I was pulling in, so maybe something between those two operations.
