Hi Martin,

I am not looking for a particular javascript library, I am looking for a kind of dependency management as there exists for java projects. Both javascript-maven-plugin as maven-jstools-plugin seem to be capable of doing that.

On my current project I inherited a javascript mess where 3rd party dependencies are copied somewhere into src/main/resources or src/main/webapp/js. It's even worse, some js files have both 3rd party and custom code. So it's hard to see what's custom and what's 3rd party.

To bring order into that chaos I was hoping for a maven javascript plugin to help out.

Regards,

Minto 'misl' van der Sluis

The Javascript Library du jour (for any supported framework) changes with the political climate

2 years ago everyone used Dojo
last year everyone converted all their Dojo code to Flex
this year its JQuery

personally i dont put Dojo on my resume anymore as someone would say thats OLD!

so if you fork a branch to develop JQuery scripts (and you notice someone sawing the branch you're on)
