I am evaluating transitioning a large Ant build system that manages dozens of Java and .NET projects over to Maven and was hoping someone could answer a few questions:
1) The Java support in Maven seems comprehensive, but .NET support (I'm looking in NMaven) seems very limited. I see support for building .NET libraries and desktop applications. Is there any support for building ASP.NET web applications, .msi installers, manifest signatures, or ClickOnce published installers? Are these things going to be available, even at an incubation/beta level in the near future? 2) My employer's build process uses a custom packaging and installer builder that bundles up binaries, web sites, and other project outputs from dozens of Java/.NET projects and packages them into one huge installer. Can I write some kind of Maven plugin to integrate this into the end of a Maven build? What is the name of the relevant plugin technology that I should investigate using? At a brief, high-level, how would this work? 3) Is there any way that Maven can be configured so that if a single project fails to build, all other projects continue building? At my current job, we have problems that when a single developer checks in a bad change, the whole build fails, even on logically unrelated projects. We depend on an automated nightly central build process and when this breaks, it's a big productivity problem. 4) Does Maven have any build reporting features? I was hoping for basic HTML reports on which projects built successfully, which failed, and how long they took. Do I need to use an external tool to get this kind of functionality?
