You could always try using something like the maven exec-maven-plugin to
execute CMake (which supports generating project files for VS, XCode,
and GCC from a common text file on Mac, Windows, and Linux).

Thanks for your answers!
Where do you see most of the problems in including native compilers? I
means, in general Maven already supports a highly abstract object model
that does not have much in common with Java. So why is it complicated to
integrate another compiler?

Regarding C/C++ I have tried to use this in the past, I think I was
using
the nar plugin but can't be sure. There were a couple of
road-blocking
bugs/missing-features that prevented us from using maven for these
types of
projects. If I recall correctly the issues were that it did not have
support for the new universal OSX binaries and on Windows you couldn't
specify the compiler version. I.e. it would use whatever MSVC version
it
found on the system, and we had to support multiple versions (this is
probably true on other platforms as well). You could probably modify
the
plugins when you find issues like these but I didn't go down that
path.
(This was a couple+ years ago so if these are kept current they may be
fixed
by now.)

Hi there!
I already searched google for some help but it seems that it's not
really common to use Maven for non-Java projects.
However, we plan to be platform and language-independent by
supporting
e.g. embedded Java, C, C++ and Python. The question is if it is
feasible
to use Maven for all projects?
I found the maven-native-plugin and maven-nar-plugin but I'm not
really
sure if it supports everything that's needed. We are looking for a
server-based central repository maintaining different projects and
libraries in various languages.
Can anybody who uses or used any of these or other plug-ins to
support
non-Java projects please respond with some comments, hints,
suggestions,
pro and cons etc. that might be helpful?
Thanks a lot!

I haven't yet had much joy with Maven-plugins for building
Windows-native
DLLs from C++ using the MSVC compiler, so if anyone would like to
nominate
their favorite plugin there. native-mave-plugin seems out-of date or
not
maintained for latest MSVC compiler versions?
