Nuts – pip/NPM for Java with first-class workspaces, JDK provisioning

Nuts is a modern Java package manager and runtime environment that provides first-class workspaces and automatic JDK provisioning, similar to pip or npm. It targets Java developers frustrated by the complexity of distributing applications, offering a streamlined solution for dependency management and cross-platform execution. Its interest lies in solving the long-standing pain points of Java app distribution—like the demise of WebStart—by enabling simple, reproducible builds and runs without manual JDK setup.
