I honestly find sdkman makes installing and managing basic java tooling a breeze. To me that's a solved problem, it's pretty danged nice.
This goes way beyond that; a whole set of dependencies that are very thoughtfully designed. If they maintain backwards compatibility, as the JDK stdlib does, for essentially ever, I might bite. I've seen a lot of these type of things come and go.
Some of the projects are actually forks from some of my open source from the company I founded (and later sold). Some have been around for quite a while (10+ years) and have some adoption as well.
To keep those projects going, I forked them and started Latte.
My plan is to keep working on all the projects and really start promoting it. I think it's a game changer for Java.
I'm currently working on adding HTTP/2 to our HTTP server. It's nearly done and looking really solid. And our benchmarks on it are looking like we'll be the second fastest HTTP server for Java.

I'm the author of Latte.

Yes, Java got complicated.
It's about time to simplify things (in the java universe & enterprise) and this is a good first effort, all the best!
