And, what has your experience been? Do you think that Maven has been well suited to your project, and how would you advise others on following your path?
Thanks in advance!

I have not used Maven for any of my projects but some of my colleagues used for java projects. Are you looking for ant special features of it ? if its plain vanilla build then stick with Makefiles. You can also look at http://www.scons.org/

A:
Why do you want to use maven for a C/C++ project? Maven is very good but require you a very deep knowledge, and it is strongly Java-oriented. I think Makefiles are good also for big C++ project.
I will suggest automake+autoconf for a slight better way of managing Makefile creation.
Take also a look to big project like the OpenOffice sources, for getting inspired.

Thank you - I don't want to bias any further results or responses but let's say I'm looking for any evidence that this is a Good Idea.
