Is there still a maven plugin for js? I know there used to be with 1.0 or 1.1 but nowadays maven is barely mentioned on the docs page

I doubt it, since mpp only aims to support gradle. Maven plugin for k/jvm is only there because it's a big part of jvm ecosystem still. This does not apply to js so why bother?

[patrickdelconte]

many of the jvm projects are backends which could be converted to fullstack if there was a js maven plugin

[patrickdelconte]

the js plugin is still available as a standalone plugin in gradle... so I thought maybe in maven too but I cannot find anything

[Big Chungus]

Yeah, I wish they'd just drop standalone js gradle plugin and focus on mpp instead. But that's just my two cents.

as it turns out the old maven configuration options for js still work. it is just not documented anywhere
