RE: Maven Has Some Nice Features, But...
Maven primary target is java world. From the one hand Maven is a superset of ant functionality and there are some extension to ant which are supporting C, C# (haven't used them). From the other hand the power of maven lays in centralized artifact management and in it's plugins, which make dirty work from you. I am not aware of any maven's plugins for C/C++ or any non java language. So from this point of view you have no advantage if you use maven or ant. You still need to write your build system for you. I guess that for more complex, highly customized builds it is simpler to use Ant as it gives you more flexibility.

Kasper created a plugin for dealing with native code but the goals of Maven at the project's inception were targeted at Java. If you are using 5 different languages, one of which is Java, something other than Maven might be more suitable. ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Brian HallNDCHealth Incorporated Senior Quality Assurance Engineer 530 Lindbergh Drive [EMAIL PROTECTED] Coraopolis, PA 15108 412-474-1824 1-800-860-2372 ~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ This E-mail message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Re: Maven Has Some Nice Features, But...
If you are doing mostly C/C++ with some Java, you might want to look at SCons. It's _way_better thank makefiles, and now has some knowledge of Java, although nothing on the level of Maven. Presumably you could have SCons call out to Maven or Ant for more complicated Java work. http://www.scons.org/ Brian Hall wrote: How does Maven handle a mixed development world?
