I think I've discovered what's wrong with Java... Way too many frameworks, and way too many inter-dependencies and incompatibilities between them...

Currently updating a Java project that uses, in no particular order:

Jetty, Jasper, JBoss, Maven, GWT, GWTP, GXT, Guice, Gin, Guava, some database libraries and drivers, a few other utility frameworks, and a few proprietary frameworks...

Each one works with specific versions of others, and none of them seem to give a @#%*&# about backwards compatibility even when only moving up a minor version number. Upgrade one to support something in another, it breaks two more and gives an utterly useless runtime error. Packages (namespaces) change every version because none of them can decide where to put anything.

Really makes me appreciate Visual Studio more and more... C# just works. It just #(*%&# works.

Sigh... Back to messing with these pom files... Rant concluded.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
