Newbie question: language-dependencies of Maven
Hi,
(Sorry, I hoped to find this in the FAQ, but didn't. You may
want to actually answer there, preferably.)
Is it documented somewhere, how exactly Maven is tied to Java?
What level of efforts would it take to make it language-neutral
(with certain limitations, or perhaps even without limitations,
assuming language-dependent plugins, whatever...)?
Thanks very much,
Szabolcs

We're working to expand Maven into supporting other languages, but our
original use cases were Java-centric. This means the potential exists
for finding process improvements that new languages will require, but so
far we've found very few. I've personally coded a suite of plugins to
orchestrate a Make build (with the benefits of transitive dependency
resolution, etc.), and I know some people are working on .Net support,
though I don't know for sure what progress they've made beyond getting
NUnit to build. I also know that some people are working on direct C
compilation (to .dll or .so, I believe) from m2.
Basically, we can be reasonably confident that we can handle the
process-related issues brought by a new language once we've explored
these issues in several languages.
