Maven is not my favorite software, but it seems to have infected the Java world making it damn near impossible to setup even the simplest of projects without hours wasted just trying to find the right dependencies and setup something to download them without covering yourself in the filth that is maven as a build system. "I JUST WANT THE FUCKING JARS!" I usually scream after losing hours.

Bungler is just a thing to download the fucking jars.

Bungler is written in Go. I would have written it in java, but I had nothing reasonable to download the jars.

Install with go get github.com/kellegous/bungler

Bungler just downloads jars; there is no cache and no weird central location for jars. Here are some examples:

bungler --dst=lib com.google.guava/guava

bungler --dst=lib com.google.guava/guava/18.0

By default, bungler downloads the binary and source jars. You can request the javadoc jars with the --types flag.

bungler --types=src,jar,doc junit/junit

bungler com.google.guava/guava junit/junit
