nuts is a Java™ Package Manager that makes running Java applications as simple as typing:
nuts <package>Unlike Maven, which resolves dependencies at compile time, nuts resolves them at install or runtime, saving disk space and bandwidth by caching only what’s needed for the current environment and sharing it across apps.
nuts is fully compatible with existing Maven-built JARs—you don’t need to repackage your app or add custom metadata. If it’s in Maven Central (or any repo), you can run it with Nuts.
No more ugly lib folders or fat-jars. Just install and run in a single command.
- Zero Fat-Jars – Get rid of bloated single JARs.
- Shared Dependencies – Save disk space and bandwidth.
- Works with Existing Maven JARs – No special packaging required.
- Cross-Platform – Runs anywhere Java runs.
- Dynamic Updates – Upgrade tools and apps easily.
