The JavaScript Maven Tools improved by SOFTEC sa, aims to provide Javascript developpers with equivalent tools to those found for Java in Maven. It brings to Javascript the whole benefits of Maven dependency and build management and to Maven the specific tools required for Javascript development.
Throught the use of new packaging types and lifecycles, it allow building standalone pure JavaScript librairies, part of JEE web applications, and Appcelerator™ Titanium applications for Android and iOS. It promote best development practices with standardized project organization, so that developers can be quickly productive on existing projects and take advantage of modular developement similar to the scheme followed in Java.
Until now, there is no real consensus on how to manage a JavaScript project. We really hope to provide tools that will help existing users of Maven to find a new way to manage their JavaScript projet, either integrated in a larger Java web application or as standalone well modularized libraries.
JavaScript Maven Tools is architectured around two plugins and two extensions:
To be upto speed in no time, based on your existing Maven knowledge, your need to read the JavaScript Maven Plugin page.
This project is a fork of the original project hosted at codehaus which seems to be abandoned since a while, and has never reach a release version. We introduce some major improvements, and in particular support for Jasmine test, based on the Jasmine Maven Plugin, and support of Appcelerator™ Titanium command line builders.
