## 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:
In progress: we are discussing the board feedback from the last board meeting
in which the board underlined the lack of activity and the small PMC.
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/6b7216eaf9ed5287461cc6355b71d2cb7141b4414c80477fd96f24ab@%3Cprivate.buildr.apache.org%3E
We're still discussing this and welcome any feedback.
