If you're using #Java​'s source-file launcher, you may eventually want to drop some dependencies into your little project. But how to get them without a build tool? One answer is JPM - give it a shot, it's cool: github.com/codejive/jav...

I've been helping Max for years now with JBang, so I agree that it is a lovely tool! But at the same time I'm also the author of Jpm, because I noticed that sometimes I wanted something simpler, more composable and with a bit more freedom to do things my way instead of the JBang way. :-)

JBang is an all-in-one solution for dealing with lots of issues that plague the Java ecosystem and one of its goals is to make working with Java as easy as possible. Jpm just does the depency bit, trying to be a more composable solution in the *nix way. Disclaimer, I'm a dev on both projects.

jpm is jbang lite :-) jpm solved a problem that I had with managing the JAR deps of my Jython programs. Jbang does not support Jython, but with jpm I could quickly create a workable solution (after seeing this tweet about jpm today). github.com/orgs/jbangde...
