The release dates are on maven central as well (if the dependency is there, of course). But with dozens of projects and hundreds of dependencies, a big manual tedious recurring effort is tough to deal with. It would come up in a security scan if there's a CVE, but of course at that point you are scrambling to rip out a library in a very short amount of time...

Do you have dozens of projects that each have different versions of the same dozen dependencies, or do you actually have hundreds of differents deps, i.e. each of the dozen projects does a wildly different thing from the other and therefore doesn't need the same deps? Or are you talking about transitive deps, i.e. the dependencies of your dependencies? I think that if you want it automated (which you should because you should be able to do this check in regular interval), you want to measure some kind of proxy related to activity and try to reason about frequency and recency. How many commits, how many released versions how many responses to github issues, how many mailing list posts by the maintainer... have been made in the last year relative to last year. Ofc some of these are gonna be easier to measure than others. Though I think that there's a few catches. Generally one would expect better and more mature libs to require less maintenance work. Though perhaps there's maintenance work that has to happen regardless, like making use of new language features and whatnot.

I can't seem to wrap my head around how I am meant to solve this issue, I think I am coming from the wrong angle. If I have an class object that contains 3 values, for example Student() and it holds firstName, lastName, studentId. I have then created an array of Student[] objects, so now i am holding something like code:The other way I was thinking was to make a method that returned the values explicitly as array, for example, Student.getArrayValues() and I guess create a new 2d array list on the fly and then manually sort that through a loop and print the results but it feels like I'm doubling up my work for nothing and there should be a simpler method. Any help would be appreciated

Maybe this will help you: https://www.baeldung.com/java-8-comparator-comparing. By using the Arrays.sort(...) method you can give it a lambda function telling it how to compare the objects. This allows you to compare by one (or more) chosen fields (e.g. in your case student id).
