This is a joint event hosted by the [Toronto Java User Group](https://www.meetup.com/toronto-java-users-group/events/310034399/)!

Join us for a cross-community meetup featuring **Haoyi Li** on Simpler Java **build tools** with Object Oriented Programming. We'll kick off with brief introductions from each group before diving into the main talk.
\-\-\-
The Java language is known to be performant, easy to use, and with great IDE support, but Java build tools like **Maven or Gradle** do not always live up to that reputation. This talk will explore why build tooling is fundamentally such a difficult domain to work in, and how common concepts from object-oriented programming have the potential to simplify the build tool experience. We will end with a demonstration of an experimental new Java build tool "**Mill**" that makes use of these ideas, proving out the idea that Java build tooling has the potential to be much faster, safer, and easier than it is today.
