Log4cxx - Mavenizing it...

["Wilfong, Paul" <pa...@ngc.com>]

I was wondering if there might be any plan or interest in "Mavenizing"
the log4cxx project.

If so, there is a C++ Maven 2 plugin available from the Stanford HEP
lab:  http://java.freehep.org/freehep-nar-plugin/intro.html  Might it be
useful?

Documentation has been Mavenized.  The current Maven POM drives the  
Ant build using cpptasks.  I did look at an earlier native  
compilation plugin, but I believe it was for Maven 1.  I wasn't aware  
of this one.

Do you have any suggestions on how to address our dependencies (apr,  
apr-util, cppunit).  Currently, apr and apr-util are snapshotted into  
the SVN repo, but that isn't a desirable long term solution, though  
it is better than the previous download on demand solution.  On  
Unix's, the package management system can make it pretty  
straightforward, but not on Windows.  I had hoped that there could be  
some reasonable way to get apr, apr-util and cppunit into the Maven  
repo and then use it.
