We are currently using it for flex in addition to java, for flex the builds work fine the only negative is the plugins that allow direct IDE integration are not as complete as they are for Java.
Regarding C/C++ I have tried to use this in the past, I think I was using the nar plugin but can't be sure. There were a couple of road-blocking bugs/missing-features that prevented us from using maven for these types of projects. If I recall correctly the issues were that it did not have support for the new universal OSX binaries and on Windows you couldn't specify the compiler version. I.e. it would use whatever MSVC version it found on the system, and we had to support multiple versions (this is probably true on other platforms as well). You could probably modify the plugins when you find issues like these but I didn't go down that path. (This was a couple+ years ago so if these are kept current they may be fixed by now.) -Dave On Mon, Aug 10, 2009 at 5:58 AM, Jan Wedel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there! > > I already searched google for some help but it seems that it's not > really common to use Maven for non-Java projects. > > However, we plan to be platform and language-independent by supporting > e.g. embedded Java, C, C++ and Python.
