Take a peek at Ant from jakarta.apache.org - make functionality - written in Java - no tab/space issues of Make - makefile of make = buil.xml of Ant - that's correct. ant "makefile"s are written in xml

Sure; make is language-agnostic. For that matter, it doesn't even need
to be used in conjunction with programming. I use make with LaTeX
projects to generate the .dvi and .ps, and with docbook projects for the
same purpose. I use make in my /etc/postfix directory to automatically
regenerate the postfix maps and restart postfix if a map has changed.
Any time you have one file that is the result of running a program on
anothe file, it's a good candidate to automate the generation of that
file with make.
