Currently, I'm involved with a project that is building C/C++ code using Maven and Make. Basically, because of time pressures and the complexity of autotools, we're orchestrating Make builds by resolving/installing dependency packages, and using the POMs of dependencies for formulating configuration options. I don't believe the maven compiler plugin natively supports C++ yet - there is no cpp adapter implementation for the compiler framework we're using - but it's not beyond reason that we could add this.
Another thing I do hear about on a regular basis is the native-maven-plugin in the mojo project (http://mojo.codehaus.org, http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo), which should be approaching an alpha release soon. I'm not overly familiar with how it works, but that's probably your best bet for getting started with C++ development in Maven today. In fact, multi-language support is something the Maven development team is going to be working on in the near future, in terms of broadening concepts like artifact identity and so forth. You're not alone in requesting things like this, FWIW. Can you elaborate on how you would imagine using Maven with your C++ projects?

Hello, I have done a few searches but could not find a conclusive claim that Maven supports C++ development? I did come across a design document that mentioned support for C++, however I would like to know if Maven is used for C++ and how if there is any documentation ?
