Hi Manos,
JavascriptDependencyFilter is a nice feature and a technical showcase,
but I would not allow a feature like that to be activated in projects I
control.
With this feature I have no absolute control over my deliverables. As
far as I can tell there is no garantee that 2 installations are exactly
identical. It even introduces a runtime dependency on the maven
repository which might not be available on all occasions.
Regards,
Minto 'misl' van der Sluis

Aren't we all ;-)
Lack of users has IMHO multiple causes:
1) Javascript source management is an afterthough on many project.
They include it as resources in their WAR project. (I've seen the
mess ;-)
2) The road for javascript dependency management is not as clear as
for java.
Bingo. jstools is not only a maven plugin; it is also used as a
classpath-like mechanism for resolving js resources at runtime (i.e.
when processing an HTTP request) within WAR projects.
In short, one can build a JS project with Maven as described in
js-packaging [1], in which case the project artifact is a JAR. A WAR
project can pool that jar as usual by adding it in the dependencies
section within the POM.
The jstools should also be added as a dependency to the WAR, making
the JavascriptDependencyFilter [2] available to the web application.
The filter is responsible for resolving js or other static resources
and produce proper responses to HTTP requests.
In other words jstools provides runtime dep management (for war
projects) and relies on maven conventions for build time.
