And what if you want/need to add dependencies? A lot of them.

Sure _then_ you might opt to use Maven or Gradle.

My point is there are a wide variety of application types out there, not everything is a web application, not everything needs to use a complex build and dependency management system.

Yeah, but if you do know Maven, it scales down to small projects. The configuration for a simple project is trivial.

So just use Maven and save anyone coming after you a bunch of trouble when they have to extend your project ;-)
