Great idea. I had some correspondence with Nicholas a while back prior to
embarking on my import plugin. Nicholas then stated, "The main issue was to
find a consensus on how a JS project is supposed to be built, and what tools to
use. Seems there is as many way as JS developers !". The latter point is the
most salient to me; what tools to use. I don't really think that the JS tooling
situation is much different to the Java tooling situation. What is key is to
permit a JS developer to select the tools of their choosing.

I think that the key here is to re-factor some of the existing JS related
plugins into a finer granularity of MOJO. I, for one, now need JSLint in my
build, but don't want a plugin that does much more (I suppose I could bind just
one goal of course).
Thanks for the great dialogue (btw: Sarissa was the basis of my first venture
into JS RIA a few years back!).
Kind regards,
Christopher
