Welcome to NPanday

NPanday provides Maven 2.x plugins to support building .NET applications at the command line or in your IDE. It enables you to use Visual Studio with a Maven-compatible development infrastructure.

NPanday is its own framework, the goal of which is to provide a common Maven build environment across .NET compilers (C#, VB), vendors (Microsoft, Novell, DotGNU), and platforms (Windows, Linux). This framework leverages Maven for the build lifecycle, making it a small compiler-plugin-framework on top of the larger Maven build-framework.
