To clarify this a little bit, some of the later versions of the googlecode plugin add rudimentary support for gcc, but I wasn't able to get it to work locally. I spent a lot of time on this when I did the cmake conversion, and it didn't really pay off. As I commented, the plugin from HADOOP-8887 also does a lot more, including add the ability to support things like "mvn test -Dtest=my_native_test". cheers, Colin > >> 2. Groovy accepts java syntax.
