## Description:
Apache Buildr is a build system for Java-based applications, including support for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and tools. We wanted something that’s simple and intuitive to use, so we only need to tell it what to do, and it takes care of the rest. But also something we can easily extend for those one-off tasks, with a language that’s a joy to use. And of course, we wanted it to be fast, reliable and have outstanding dependency management.
## Issues:
There are no issues requiring board attention at this time.
## Activity:
Over the last 6 months, we have resolved most of the open bugs.
We have released 1.5 on Friday, September 23rd with better support for Java 8 and Scala 2.11 and are looking to release 1.5.1 by the end of the year.
## Health report:
The activity is slow, with 2 active committers.
The activity on the mailing lists is better than last quarter, with a few discussions on the user list.
We do see that the project is used at large. For example, the latest version has been downloaded over 7000 times, one month after its official release.
We have started discussing on the dev list how to improve participation, and have detailed several items for the next release to engage better our users.
