Maven is a project development management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model: builds, dependency management, documentation creation, site publication, and distribution publication are all controlled from the declarative file. Maven can be extended by plugins to utilise a number of other development tools for reporting or the build process.

Buildah - a tool that facilitates building Open Container Initiative (OCI) container images. The Buildah package provides a command line tool that can be used to Create a working container, either from scratch or using an image, Images can be built in either the OCI image format or the traditional upstream docker image format, Mount / Unmount / Delete / Rename the container.

Meson is a project to create the best possible next-generation build system. It is optimized for extremely fast full and incremental builds without sacrificing correctness. It supports cross compilation for many operating systems as well as bare metal. It has built-in multiplatform dependency provider that works together with distro packages.

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google's software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google's development environment. A comprehensive, built-in set of rules lets you build software for a wide variety of languages and platforms right out of the box.

Buck is a build system for Android that encourages the creation of small, reusable modules consisting of code and resources. Because Android applications are predominantly written in Java, Buck also functions as a Java build system. Buck builds independent artifacts in parallel to take advantage of multiple cores. Further, it reduces incremental build times by keeping track of unchanged modules so that the minimal set of modules is rebuilt.

Pants is a build system for software. It works particularly well for a source code workspace containing many distinct but interdependent pieces. It is optimizes for building multiple, dependent things from source, building code in a variety of languages, speed of build execution. A Pants build sees only the target it's building and the transitive dependencies of that target. This approach works well for a big repository containing several things.

Gradle pushes declarative builds to the next level by providing declarative language elements that you can assemble as you like. Those elements also provide build-by-convention support for Java, Groovy, OSGi, Web and Scala projects. This declarative language is extensible, add yours or extend exiting one.<BR><BR>Gradle supports multi-project build. It provides a deep import for Ant project. Gradle fully supports your existing Maven or Ivy repository infrastructure for publishing and retrieving dependencies.

 The Apache Gump continuous integration tool was the first one developed at the Apache Software Foundation. It is written in Python and fully supports Apache Ant, Apache Maven (1.x to 3.x) and other build tools. Gump is unique in that it builds and compiles software against the latest development versions of those projects. This allows Gump to detect potentially incompatible changes to that software just a few hours after those changes are checked into the version control system. Notifications are sent to the project team as soon as such a change is detected, referencing more detailed reports available online.

Jake is the JavaScript build tool for NodeJS.  It has capabilities similar to GNU Make, CMake, or Rake in the Ruby community.  Jake is mainly meant to be used as a CLI tool, but you can also embed it in your own programs, as a building block for creating macros, generator scripts, or anything that requires tasks that run with prerequisites.

Kobalt is a build system inspired by Gradle and Maven. It reuses the best concepts from these two successful and popular build systems while adding a few modern features of its own. Kobalt is written entirely in Kotlin and its build files are valid Kotlin files as well.
