Better Java Builds with the Mill Build Tool, Japan Java User Group Fall Conference 2024

Haoyi Li explains how the Mill build tool improves upon Maven and Gradle with automatic caching and parallelism.

Mill is an open-source JVM build tool that attempts to improve upon Maven and Gradle. With automatic caching, extensive parallelism, and easy type-checked extensibility, Mill allows you to effectively build large Java projects even as they grow in size, complexity, and number of developers. This talk will explore some of the benefits of the Mill build tool, how Mill compares to existing build tools, and how you can try out Mill today on your greenfield or brownfield Java codebases. Mill's documentation is online at mill-build.org/
