I am looking at using Maven 3 for some web development. I know how to use maven to resolve java based jar files. How do I use maven to resolve JavaScript dependencies for example I want to have maven automatically put jquery in my webapp/js folder?
Is it possible to do transative JavaScript dependencies with Maven 3?
You could create your own “war” that has jquery in it on the path you specified.
Afterwards add that war to your real web application. Maven should merge it. I think it was called somehting like “processing overlay”.
I’m using the same for some GWT application where the javascript is generated by a maven plugin and it works well.
