What is JitPack?
JitPack is an easy to use package repository for Gradle/Sbt and Maven projects.
We build GitHub projects on demand and provides ready-to-use packages.
What is Apache Maven?
Maven allows a project to build using its project object model (POM) and a set of plugins that are shared by all projects using Maven, providing a uniform build system. Once you familiarize yourself with how one Maven project builds you automatically know how all Maven projects build saving you immense amounts of time when trying to navigate many projects.
What is Pants?
Pants is a build system for Java, Scala and Python. It works particularly well for a source code repository that contains many distinct projects.
