> Isn’t trying to build any complex project a pray on the first try?

I managed to build Docker Daemon - one of the most widely used and complex Go projects - from source with a simple `go build`.

I've never figured out how to build Jenkins from source.

Do you know of any widely used Java project that has a simple build process? Maybe a positive anecdote could change my mind.
