Python Dependency

[gungwald]

You don't need to add yet another dependency for Python to build your Java app. For a pure Java build solution you could use Ant, the Ant plugin for Maven, Jython, Groovy, Bean Shell, or many other Java scripting languages for the problems you are using Python to solve.

My recommendation would be the Ant plugin for Maven because you're already using Maven. If you don't like Ant for some reason, Groovy would be my next suggestion because it can be written with the same syntax as Java. You can also use it with a more compact syntax. And you can use Maven to pull in any of those scripting dependencies, unlike Python. You can't install Python with Maven.

I know it is no more effort to get and install Python on a Mac or on Linux. But on Windows, you have to go get Python and install it. Python isn't backwards compatible like Java is, so the builder has to be very careful what version of Python he or she is installing or even just using as a pre-installed app.

The build script copies the resources from the dependencies and the code to a specific location inside SpotifyXP. It also patches the package paths. I don't know if there is any solution out there that can do this. Feel free to correct me
