(semi-OT) using maven for django,rails, ...?

[Kristian Rink <ka...@gmail.com>]

Folks;

we're internally using maven in order to build our Java EE backend apps. 
Have been doing so exclusively for quite a while now. Right now, we 
intend to play with JRuby On Rails as in one situation thish seems sane. 
So by now I wonder whether / how maven can be used to, say, manage, 
build and deploy JRoR applications as well (and be that for having a 
consistent build environment and using our Java dependencies in there in 
a sane way). I remember trying the same a few years ago with 
Jython/Django and didn't get much further either. So to ask: Is this 
possible / sane? Does anyone eventually even use it and like to share 
some thoughts on that? Do I actually _want_ to use maven to build 
anything else than Java modules? As far as this is concerned, so far I 
have seen a bunch of questionable hacks including invoking external 
(Unix) shell commands during the maven build which possibly is not what 
I want.

Thoughts, anyone?
TIA and all the best,
Kristian
