Add jar-cart to Build Tools #1277

Description

I would like to suggest adding jar-cart to the Build Tools section.

jar-cart is a modern, zero-configuration package manager and runner for the Java ecosystem written in Go. It aims to solve the latency and friction issues in traditional Java build systems by utilizing:

  • CAS (Content Addressable Storage): For global artifact deduplication.
  • Native Hard-Linking: Enabling near-instant dependency resolution across projects.
  • Isolated Runtimes: Automatic JDK provisioning that eliminates global JAVA_HOME configuration headaches.

It is designed to provide an "npm-style" experience for Java developers, focusing on developer productivity and build speed.

  • Repository: jar-cart
  • Language: Go
  • License: MIT

I believe this tool provides a unique approach to Java dependency management that would be a valuable addition to this list.
