Maven primary target is "java world".

some extension to ant which

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.
