Hi Adam,
I want the plugin to be able to work on a directory structure similar
to:
[project root]
src
main
javascript
test
javascript
I want the plugin to also do some compilation of Javascript files that would
include combining specified javascript files together, removing certain
lines (like debugging lines starting with ';;;'), and running them through
some other commandline javascript processing programs (like jsmin, or
jslint).
I was thinking of tagging along with the compile targets to do the combining
of scripts, and removing of debug lines. Then the test targets to run *unit
tests, and programs like jslint. Then tagging along with the package targets
to provide compressed/minified artifacts. And lastly, may making the
documentation targets run jsdoc (or something similar).
Hope that makes sense.
I have been looking through the Groovy, and Scala plugins to see how they
work. I'm not sure what classes I really need, and which ones I don't (Eg.
I'm not sure I need a JavascriptSourceSet, or if I can just specify the
extra source directories?), or if I really need/want to extend from the
JavaPlugin as the Groovy and Scala plugins do.
I haven't gotten this far yet, but I'm assuming the instructions from Walter
are for making the plugin usable via "apply plugin: 'javascript'" vs. "apply
plugin: JavascriptPlugin".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
