JarCastingmsbuild-maven-plugin
Maven 3 plugin for building Visual Studio solutions and projects with msbuild.
Requirements:
- Originally tested with Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. Integration tests now updated for Visual Studio 2015.
- .NET framework v4.0 (for msbuild)
In addition to building using msbuild the plugin also supports:
- Creating a version resource from information in your POM
- Running static analysis tools:
- CppCheck (1.61)
- Vera++ (1.2.1)
- Generating, building and executing unit tests using CxxTest (4.2.1, don't use 4.3 due to Windows compilation issues)
- Generating configuration files for the Sonar runner to ingest source, CppCheck, Vera and CxxTest results.
