Thanks for sharing.
I have used make mostly for Golang projects.
But Go already ships with a full fledged build tool, so it is fair to say that for Golang builds, make it is just a tiny wrapper.
I haven't used it for anything else because language specific build tools (like the ones you mentioned) also ship with dependency management systems, which is super convenient.
I understand you used make for Java. What did you use as dependency manager? Apache Ivy?
Can I ask you to share a project in which you did that? :)
30+ years of tech, retired from an identity intelligence company, now part-time with an insurance broker.
Dev community mod - mostly light gardening & weeding out spam :)
but no dependency manager there, all three deps simply get a mention in the Makefile. That was a number of years ago, these days I would probably use Git submodules (I probably still should for that project!)
