Raven

First off, the name is not a play on Rust + maven, but maven and my uni's mascot.

Second, this is meant to be a simple tool to manage simple Java projects from the command line with sanity.

It takes inspiration from Cargo, and essentially serves as a sanity-preserving wrapper for javac and java.

Installing

Installing with cargo:

cargo install --git https://gitea.cutieguwu.ca/Cutieguwu/raven.git --branch master

raven will likely fall back to panicking in various scenarios. This will be worked out over time.

raven is only tested under linux. NT and Darwin support is not guaranteed.

WSL may affect the behaviour of raven. Quirks to be worked out.

Getting Started

raven new demo
cd demo
raven run main.Main

Future plans

• Fix raven test. Totally borked.
• Make nest run fall back to an entry point specified in Nest.toml, when none provided.
• Fix project structure, eliminate inter-dependencies.
  • Separate out java.rs into a dedicated wrapper library.
• Possibly add support for pulling remote packages via nest add. This will be implemented should there arise a need.
• Wrap errors properly, instead of hap-hazardly using anyhow
• Maybe proper logging?
• Make fs::expand_files() skip over non-.java files or properly handle that.
• Fix using hashes to avoid unnesscesary recompilation.
