Great, but you will actually want to write some code, so you have to do this insane IDE setup clickfest.

I am not saying Python's packaging is any good, it sucks. But you can't realistically ignore Java's IDE shitshow.

It’s pretty much an import project and done. If not, then someone really fcked up that build file.
But this happened to me every time I had to use any java project over the years. Maybe I'm just unlucky.
Please try OSS java projects and educate your build guy. Java the language may have lots of complaints but from the build/packaging point of view its actually one of the best languages out there. And very, very consistent.
