+1 to that definitely!

Below is a meer suggestion, I've only read about it and never done it. I believe you are able to chain grunt into the maven life cycle. This would allow us to do various things with the front end code. This includes but is not limited to: - JSHint - Unit tests via xyz(suggesting QUnit or Jasmine) framework - Static analysis of the javascript with Plato - Compiling SASS + LESS - Uglifying/Minifying - Optimise images(png crush etc.) - Dependency management of 3rd party js libs It would supply us with a bunch nicer build process for the UI elements of Cloudstack. However it would add a dependency of nodejs to the build process.
