We also try to use maven with C/C++ language (cf. [1]).
It seems that it exists three plugins :
1. native-*maven*-plugin (the first one ?)
2. jade native maven plugin, it is an spin off of native plugin and covers
cppunit
3. nar plugin
At the time, it seemed (I don't remember why) that jade native maven plugin
was the better.
To be honest, we weren't convinced of the ability to use such plugins in an
industrial context :
- I agree with David, there were a couple of road-blocking
bugs/missing-features that prevented us from using maven for these types of
projects. It works quite nice for compilation (even if it can be better),
but we had a lot difficulties for unit tests ;
- I agree with Jörg : plugins are nearly not supported - you cannot ask
questions, you have to find out anything yourself. There's no mailing list
and the forum is full of questions without a lot answers, There's few
documentations and often not up-to-date...
We are still waiting for a real/better solution to use maven with C/C++
language. Otherwise, we have others projects using maven with flex, php or
.NET.
