As I come from the Java world it doesn't fit into my workflow as well as it does for the Ruby folks; hence JSprockets <https://github.com/rvagg/jsprockets>which doesn't do everything that Sprockets does (yet) but it does basic *require* and * constants*. It also handles CoffeeScript files, plus it has an Ant<http://ant.apache.org>task. So, currently, for a CoffeeScript app I have on the go, I build using an Ant build file that runs JSprockets to bundle the source, then compiles with the standard CoffeeScript compiler if it's available on the system, otherwise falls back to JCoffeeScript </>. Then you can call either YUICompressor or Closure Compiler (both Java apps) if you want to minify, all without having to leave the JVM and it fits naturally into Eclipse<http://www.eclipse.org/>as a dev environment. The only thing missing is nice syntax highlighting in Eclipse for CoffeeScript.
