Using NUnit inside Apache Maven

Dear NUnit Developers,

 

I have been writing a set of plugins to enable C# support in Apache Maven (M2). What this provides is:

 

- The ability to compile/test and deploy C# projects the same manner that Maven does for Java projects.

- Transitive Dependency management (via Maven)

- Creation of either Visual Studio or Sharp Develop (TBC) project files from the maven pom.xml standard.

- Unit testing using NUnit.

- Support for Mono mcs and MS csc compilers.

 

I'm hoping to get these submitted to the project in the next week or so. For more info on Maven please go here: http://maven.apache.org

 

As part of the CSharp plugin, I'd like to include a mono and a MS version of NUnit in the main Maven repository http://repo1.maven.org.

 

Would you have any objections if I compiled a version of NUnit which is functionally the same as your distribution except the binaries will have the version number appended to the end of the file? ex nunit-console-2.2.exe. This is a convention that is required by Maven. This would then be depolyed to the maven repository for other mono/ms csharp developers to use.

 

I look foward to your feedback.

 

Regards,

 

Chris Stevenson
