Is it possible to compile grunt project from maven?

Question

I\'m trying to execute grunt tasks from within maven without needing to install Node.js or anything. This is because I wan\'t my artifact to be packaged by Jenkins and I can\'t

Answer 1

Finally I ended up with this (which is close enough but doesn't solve the problem):

org.mule.tools.javascript
npm-maven-plugin
1.0

    
        generate-resources
            
                fetch-modules
            
            
                
                    grunt-cli:0.1.6
                
            
        
    

that installs locally the grunt-cli, but if I don't have installed node.js it's worthless. Although I try to install node.js locally there's the need to have installed python, g++ and make. So I'll go with the KISS solution: install grunt in the build server.
