Good question, I still haven't found something that trades blows with maven in any other programming language. I've made my peace with setuptools for python, but .Net/Ruby/Go/Rust/etc. are all lacking in one way or another.

I also hate the Java tooling as well personally, it's my #1 complaint with the language and one of the reason I avoid it. I would say that nothing really follows unix principles and seem over-engineered, everything is quite complex to grasp to become proficient.
