I did some development to support simple projects mostly for projects with one 
central project file in the top of the project (I call it single-root projects) 
- there is a primitive support for Maven, Leiningen, Ant, Rebar there.

If you interested, you can look to the code at 
https://github.com/alexott/cedet/tree/devel/lisp/cedet/ede

I plan to merge it into CEDET's trunk when the more functionality will be 
implemented
