Nake is a simplified version of Make (Cake, Jake, Rake) for Java 8 based on the Nashorn Javascript Engine. I wrote Nake to automate common tasks in our daily project business here at Pondus. You define tasks in a project-specific Nakefile and call those tasks from the command line. Tasks are written in Javascript empowered by the JDK 8 API and your preferred external java libraries. You don’t have to mess with native shell scripts any more.
