The tooling could be better, though.

I wish it came with more batteries included, and it renovated that old Java cli split per commands, following a bit what golang did:

- java run

- java build

- java test

- java fuzz-test

- java format

- java lock

- java lsp

- etc.

Along with a better support of posix long form flags like ‘--version’.

That will not happen for backward compatibility reasons but a new build tool with a modern CLI would be nice. One that's declarative like Maven (without the XML) and doesn't require an upgrade for every new JDK version like Gradle (screw Gradle).

Maven 4 provides alternative build file syntax with extensions: https://github.com/maveniverse/mason

Is this better than the previous polyglot extension?
