+3  Q: 

Custom compiler with maven

Hi!

I'm trying to make Maven2 to compile coffeescript to javascript. As far as I'm concerned there is no plugin which provides compiling coffeescript.

Is there a compiler-plugin for maven which can be parameterized with a compiler (for any programming language)?

This is actually the case of the Maven Compiler Plugin, see Using Non-Javac Compilers. So one could imagine providing a pluggable compiler implementation to compile coffeescript.

+1. Btw, what do you think of transforming the `maven-2` tag to just `maven`? Since there is now maven 3, it will be better, I think. Perhaps it would require retagging of some maven-1 specific questions to `maven-1`, though. (I know this is a discussion for meta, I will start it if you agree, since your are the top mavener ;) )

@Bozho I don't know, it's a tough question. The fact is that there are Maven 1 specific questions, there will be Maven 3 specific questions and there is Maven 2 in between. So having different tags makes sense IMO. My suggestion would be to move this idea on Meta, that's where such a retag must be discussed anyway.

@Bozho Oh, the comment changed. I think an explicit tag for `maven-1` would be nice. But what would be the added value of renaming `maven-2` in `maven`? And what would you suggest for `maven-3` then?

@Pascal perfect answer, just what I would have said (+1), but I might've also added a GMaven solution :-)
