Crap.

Sorry, you're totally right. That rant doesn't belong on this list, and it 
certainly shouldn't have been directed at you lot. My frustration got the 
better of me, and I should know better by now.

Still, the first time I need to use a Java project, it doesn't have a build 
system, and its only dependency is a library maintained by complete cowboys. 
How unlucky am I?

But yeah, I can't justify even projecting that onto "the Java community" 
(whatever the hell that is), let alone debian-java.

Apologies again, I'll go vent somewhere else now, and stop wasting everyone's 
time here.

Regards,

Adam
