1. Manage C++ builds - YES but You need to experiment see if it works out for you. how many platforms do you support?
2. CVS/Sub - YES thru maven-scm 3. Execution custom tools, YES thru maven-antrun-plugin or exec-maven-plugin 4 Eclispe/Integration NO 5. dream? almost there On 6/23/06, TheJoshua <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have been planning to adopt maven in my C++ development environment to provide build automation. We are planning to work building a set of interdepentent projects organized with Maven, and maybe abandoning make. I would like to know if there is a way of managing C++ builds (done with GNU g++), CVS/Subversion repositories, execution of custom tools (file encription, statistics, etc.) and IDE Integration (Eclipse), maybe removing the need of GNU make entirely. It´s a dream, isn´t it? Well, can I keep dreaming? John Casey-3 wrote: > > Currently, I'm involved with a project that is building C/C++ code using > Maven and Make.
