The NAR plugin for Maven allows you to compile native code (C++, C and
Fortran) on a number of different architectures (Linux, Windows, MacOSX,
Solaris, FreeBSD, ...) and with a number of different compilers/linkers
(g++, Microsoft Visual C++, CC, ...) The output produced is wrapped up
in Native ARchive files (.nar) some of which are machine independent
(-noarch), while others are machine specific and thus depend on a
combination of machine architecture(A), operating-system(O) and
linker(L) identified as AOL. These nar files can be installed in the
local Maven repository and deployed to a standard Maven (web) server,
using the standard `maven-install-plugin` and `maven-deploy-plugin`.

Usage
-----

In your POM:

```xml
<build>
	<plugins>
		<plugin>
			<groupId>com.github.maven-nar</groupId>
			<artifactId>nar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
			<version>3.5.1</version>
			<extensions>true</extensions>
			<configuration>
				...
			</configuration>
		</plugin>
	</plugins>
</build>
```

Of course, it is recommended that you use the
[latest version](http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|g%3A%22com.github.maven-nar%22%20a%3A%22nar-maven-plugin%22).

What you put in the `<configuration>` section will depend on your build;
