To compile some internal linux based projects I'm looking to write a simple compiler that creates an scons or waf build file from the compiler configuration. I'm hoping to hook the artifacts the script creates back into maven so that it can manage them. We have fairly simple build requirements this far (i.e. a single platform) and internal knowledge of scons, hence this scons approach over something like the NAR or native plugins.
I completely agree about coupling the compiler to the project object, I didn't like that approach from the beginning. I'll give the expressions another try and hopefully that will give me what I need.
