And, what has your experience been? Do you think that Maven has been well suited to your project, and how would you advise others on following your path?
Thanks in advance!
CERN seems to be using it in combination with Make:
http://accelconf.web.cern.ch/accelconf/icalepcs2011/papers/wepks026.pdf
I have not used Maven for any of my projects but some of my colleagues used for java projects. Are you looking for ant special features of it ? if its plain vanilla build then stick with Makefiles. You can also look at http://www.scons.org/
Why do you want to use maven for a C/C++ project?
Maven is very good but require you a very deep knowledge, and it is strongly Java-oriented.
I think Makefiles are good also for big C++ project.
I will suggest automake+autoconf for a slight better way of managing Makefile creation.
Take also a look to big project like the OpenOffice sources, for getting inspired.
I'm using CMake under Maven: http://code.google.com/p/cmake-maven-project/
I find CMake much easier to use because it generates full-fledged project files. You can then open those project files and run the debugger, profiler, etc.

I would like to include a source code editor inside my software.
The editor should provide at least the following features:
syntax coloration;
syntax validation;
auto-commpletion;
code folding;
inline documentation (displays a called function documentation for example);
extensible, so that it can support more languages in the future; support at least C++, Python, Java, Doc-book, XML, Latex.
Additionnaly, the framework should be in C++, as my own software that wishes to include the framework is in C++ as well. Ideally, it would use the Qt framework.
Finally, it should work at least for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
I wish to avoid develop it myself, as this seems a long and difficult task, and as I expect this need is quite common and many solutions already exist in the outside world.
So far, I only found QScintilla, but I am surprised there is not much more choice.
Do you have any other suggestions ?
Perhaps KatePart is what you are looking for? It's the editor component used in the Kate editor and the KDevelop IDE included in KDE.

I'm writing a C++ application, that I have to deploy to a server in the future (maybe as a node.js C++ module).
I really need a logging library that help me during the development process.
Now I'm using log4cxx, but I need the code to be portable, so I prefer to have a source file to include in the project. I also need a performing C++ logger, that does not slow down the application in both case with logging turned on and off. Can anyone help me with this choice? My options are:
Log4cplus: simple and easy to use and extend. But performance?
Google-Glog: easiest to use and very very fast. But I need to compile it and it use system flag, I wonder if it is a problem when I use it with node.js.
As far as I know the log4cxx uses Apache runtime as its base so ,portability is not an issue with log4cxx. Also it provides macros for optimized logging. Is there anyother reason you want to shift from log4cxx?

There are many libraries that manage the wiimote but I am looking for the "best" one, or at least that has the following features:
open-source
portable (at least Win32 and Linux)
written and usable in c or c++
good coverage of wiimote devices
I rely on people that already used such library. Google is good source of information but it doesn't know which one is best library.
if you will use multiple wiimotes, don't use wiiuse library. i am working on a stereo system with two wiimotes using wiiuse library but wiiuse made me crazy( it gives delayed ir tracking data ) and i decided to change my library wiiuse from wiiyourself
Some friends of mine have had good luck with wiiuse. It's in C, for both Windows and Linux.
Have you seen this:

It may not be exactly what you are asking for, but with Mono you'll have the cross platform part of it.
What about Johnny Chung Lee - it's .Net but it's open source and could converted.
I think this might be what your looking for:
http://wiiuse.sourceforge.net/
Open-sourced, multi-platform and written in C/C++. They are looking for a OSX developper though, so I'm guessing it doesn't support it yet.
Maybe https://github.com/MJL85/wiiuse will do? Seems to have a lot of features and supports Windows and Linux, AND it is c.

I've decided to add auto-update functionality to one of my applications and was looking for any existing solutions that compare the current running version with the latest version that is then downloaded from the web.
I know Sparkle on Mac OSX which is very nice and powerful, but was wondering whether there is something similar for Win32/MFC?
I just stumpled accross WinSparkle which is an early stage but looks very promising.
I found two more projects aimed at solving this: http://sevenupdate.sourceforge.net/ and Google's Omaha but it's not clear either of them has any external users yet, so this question is apparently still open. I too am looking for a solution....
I've never used it, but WiX provides ClickThrough. Might be worth a look.
There is open source project WIPT inspired by APT of Debian Linux. However, the project seems to be abandoned.
I assume you already know about ClickOnce? I wasn't sure it was compatible with MFC, but then I found this article, so if that's the question you're asking, ClickOnce would be something to try.
AbstractSpoon uses "Software Update Wizard" from here for their awesome ToDoList MFC app.
Another .NET one: SparkleDotNet
In general no, windows maps things like DLLs (either your own or MFC) in such a way that you can't replace a running program.
The msi installer checks the VERSIONINFO and doesn't overwrite installed files that have the same (or newer version) but you would have to quit the runnign instance.

I am looking for an open-source project involving c++ GUI(s) working with a database. I have not done it before, and am looking for a way to get my feet wet. Which can I work on?
How about this one http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/:
SQLite Database browser is a light GUI editor for SQLite databases, built on top of QT. The main goal of the project is to allow non-technical users to create, modify and edit SQLite databases using a set of wizards and a spreadsheet-like interface.
Do a project you can get involved in and passionate about. Hopefully a product you use every day.
Anything that you like and feel that you can contribute to.
In my brief experience contributing to an open-source project, I found two points keep me contributing:
Great people - the other people contributing were fun to collaborate with and hang out with (virtually).
Project you care about - doesn't really matter which project as long as the its goals are something you want to spend your free time working on.
Sourceforge has a help wanted page: http://sourceforge.net/people/
browse the postings to see if a project is in your expertise or find one that sound interesting...
And let me be the first to say thank you for being willing to contribute your time and knowlede to the open source movement.
