What build tool did you use in your last project?

In my latest Java project, I used Maven as the build tool. Maven manages dependencies, compilation, testing, and packaging of the project through the pom.xml file. It standardizes the project structure and simplifies integration with CI/CD.

Example of a simple pom.xml file:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" 
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
                             http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>myapp</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <dependencies>
        <!-- dependencies -->
    </dependencies>
</project>
