NPanday is a project to integrate Apache Maven (http://maven.apache.org) into .Net development environments. Maven is a project development management and comprehension tool. It includes both a Visual Studio add-in to integrate Maven, and a set of plugins for Maven that can build .Net projects. By using NPanday, developers can take advantage of existing development infrastructure that is compatible with Maven. This includes dependency management and project sharing using any Maven repository, and particularly those running a repository manager such as Apache Archiva (http://archiva.apache.org), and continuous builds using a build server such as Apache Continuum (http://continuum.apache.org). This prezo was presented by Josimpson Ocaba at this year's (2009) Microsoft Web Ramp Up conference.
