integrate JavaScript dev tools in maven build ?
Hello,
My webapps now come with more and more JavaScript (web 2.0 !)
I expect maven to bring me best-practices and great tools the same way it
did for my java code.
Is there any work-in-progress to integrate some JS-tools as maven plugins ?
- jsdoc (or similar) to générate javadoc-like documentation
- some js-compression tool
- some js-merge tool
I've looked at prototype build system based on Ruby "Rake". The source code
is splitted into individual, specialized, js files. This looks a good
practice to make things clear and avoid conflicts during devs.
YUI comes with a -debug and a -min version of all its components. This also
looks interesting. I've no idea about the build process they use.
Any suggestion ?
Any link to java-based tools web could try to package as maven plugins ?
Nico.

I also discovered Dojo has a javascript compressor that may be embedded as
maven plugin
http://alex.dojotoolkit.org/shrinksafe/
An alternative is JSMin that has a Java version (

Actually a guy in the jsdoc forum/mailinglist said he will donate such a
maven plugin for jsdoc2.

I am in the process of porting the sarissa [1] project from ant to
maven. Currently i use jsdoc 1.x without problems, you can find the pom
and ant build file at [2] and [3] respectively.
I intent to put more effort into this, currently working on using jslint
[4] during the test phase (classpath trouble). Maybe will do an
archetype when i reach a certain point, certainly looking into
compression/merging for generating a compact file during the build. BTW
help is welcome ;-)

I just discovered jsDoc 2 (http://code.google.com/p/jsdoc-2/) that is
written in JavaScript and can (?) run inside Rhino engine, so could be
packaged as a maven report plugin.
