In case anyone interested, I started playing with kobalt, currently on my own fork: https://github.com/oshai/kobalt
I released a new version 1.1.7 to https://github.com/oshai/kobalt/releases and added instructions how to use it: https://github.com/oshai/kobalt#manually
At first step I plan to do upgrades/cleanups (jcenter etc')
Later I want to experiment with dependencies (locks, resolution), add support for direct maven central deployment / github actions and migrate my projects to use it.

I have some other ideas like adding formatter support as well

It’s great tho see someone continue the work. I’ve used Kobalt for about 6 years now and the biggest pain during the last ~2 years has been the IDE plugin which is hard to fix (almost requires help from Jetbrains)

The build tool itself works well despite years without updates, since it’s based on solid/simple principles

I didn't install the intellij plugin yet. running it from the command line (but opened the project in intellij).
I am trying now to fix unit tests that fails. this is the error I have:
