Make is it's own thing, and not really tied to C in any way.
I've written more makefiles for Java projects when I despised Eclipse than for any other reason. I'm sure that's completely wrong and fucking awful, but it worked really, really well.
- pjmlp 9y agoMake was the choosen tool for Java projects before Ant came into the scene.
- h_r 9y agoWhile I can somewhat sympathize with wanting to use make, it's the dependency management with Java that would be just horrible. Maven-based dependency management saves you a world of misery most of the time. And when you have conflicts to deal with it's 1000 times worse doing it by hand.
