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.
