coffee-mill-maven-plugin is a Maven plugin focusing on modern web development and especially on the client side technologies. A lot of technologies have emerged to make client-side development a bit easier.
Why using Apache Maven for such kind of code ? Because such development can also benefit from modularity, testing and from a somewhat strict build process. Actually, they definitely requires it to keep project development on rails.
The goal of the project is to cover the complete lifecycle of such artifacts : compilation, validation, tests, aggregation, minification, reporting... Everything required to deliver reusable and robust artifacts.
- Build aggregated and minified JavaScript components
- Make your component more robust with unit and integration tests using Jasmine
- Build modular JavaScript application by depending on your other components
- Use CoffeeScript without thinking about compilation
- Compile Dust templates for you
- Validate your CSS files, compile LESS files
- Optimize your JPEG and PNG files using
jpegtranandOptiPNG - Don't worry about aggregation and minification, the plugin manages that for you
- Don't launch Maven continuously, the watch mode monitor your files and process them
