Coffeescript Maven Plugin

Changes from 1.1.x versions: CoffeeScript files are joined together by default by JoinSets. JoinSets now contain Maven FileSets instead of listing Requires Java5 or above Creates a minified version using the Closure Compiler

USAGE:

Add the main plugin elements: groupId, artifactId, and version

<plugin>
  <groupId>com.theoryinpractise</groupId>
  <artifactId>coffee-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.4.7</version>
</plugin>

Add the execution goal

<executions>
  <execution>
    <id>coffee</id>
    <goals>
      <goal>coffee</goal>
    </goals>
  </execution>
</executions>

Configure the destination of the resultant js files

<coffeeOutputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/coffee</coffeeOutputDirectory>

Specify bare (see coffeescript compiler documentation)

<bare>false</bare>

It can be tough to debug compilation errors with the files joined together. If you would like to compile the Files individually

<compileIndividualFiles>true</compileIndividualFiles>

If you wish to preserve the directory structure layout, so that compiled .js files follow their .coffee sources:

<preserveSubDirectory>true</preserveSubDirectory>

Finally, add JoinSets. The id of the joinSet will be the name of the resultant javascript file.

<coffeeJoinSets>
  <joinSet>
    <id>main</id>
    <coffeeOutputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/other-directory</coffeeOutputDirectory>
    <fileSet>
    </fileSet>
  </joinSet>
</coffeeJoinSets>

The output directory for an individual joinsets can also be overridden by setting inside the element.

Optionally, specify a minified file location. It defaults to: ${project.build.directory}/coffee/${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.min.js

Finally, you can specify a directory of files to minify into one file,

or a fileset of files to minify into one file

<setOfFilesToMinify>
</setOfFilesToMinify>
