Don't. Just don't.

It's already a clusterfuck in JS land with grunt/gulp/webpack/TSC/rollup/parcel/snowpack/esbuild/rome etc, do not bring that madness to java as well.

that java madness has already happened...10 yrs ago!

maven is at the level of maturity where you don't need to even refer to it by it's version - it's just maven now (there's been two previous incarnations of maven, called maven 1 and maven 2). Then there's ANT, and there's a bunch of bespoke tools as well that i'm not too familiar with - ANT is still useful, but i would say that it plugins into the maven toolchain acceptably OK.

Yeah we had this stable period, but now get ready for Maven 4. There will be breaking changes.
