It certainly has a lot of emphasis on Java projects, but we're using it for
a very large project that has some C, C++, and Java components. For C/C++
projects we use properties for the name of the compiler, debug flags,
optimization flags, etc.. Then we use the <exec> or <execon> tasks to
compile things. This should work well for us, since properties are easy to
change on a per-platform basis.
The option of writing cross-platform tasks in Java is very attractive, and
is one of the big reasons we're going with Ant.
