Hi Christofer,

I know C/C++ people who used nar-maven-plugin [1] with success: did you have a 
look?

Notice: in Maven, "polyglot" term has always been used for other POM format 
than XML.
Here, it's more on Maven support for non-java languages

One key requirement in such multi-languages context will be to have common 
understanding and vocabulary on the requirements of the alternate languages, 
sharing concrete examples to make sure both java and non-java people see the 
same case.
That was my key finding when I worked a little bit to help these C/C++ people 
discover the plugin and find their way. But I never got too much in details on 
how finely they managed dependencies: I know there were both static and 
dynamic libraries, and multi-platform support, then 2 key topics for C/C++ 
than Java does not require

Regards,

Hervé
