what do people use instead of maven for C# winforms projects. We have developers all over the world and are trying to come up with some dependency management system that is clean simple and fast
could just use Maven and write a plugin that integrates msbuild.
We use Maven to manage non-Java components, such as our Flex .swf and .swc modules. Writing a Maven plugin would be less effort than recreating a comparable system just for .NET assemblies.
Would recommend using Hudson and Maven together, for that matter.
See also this thread:
Is there a Maven Alternative or port for the .NET world?
There is Byldan, but the project seems quite young.
I wrote tutorial on the subject if you or anyone else is interested.
There is NMaven and NPanday. Both have the same origin. They are a colleciton of maven plugins that enable a maven-like built of C# and VB projects.
NMaven seems dead, this is why I use NPanday. I recently joined the team. It is quite active. The current release is 1.1. Version 1.2 is coming soon, and we are also working on the next major release.
You should use it...
- When you like Maven
You shouldn't use it...
- When you like MSBuild (this will become better in 2.0)
- When you need localized resource assemblies (will be fixed in 1.2)
Is there any PLUG IN/Compatibility of .Net Framework with Maven? Anyone here Guide me how to Use Maven for Compilation of .Net Projects.
