Differences to version 1.x

The project does not longer support steps for each tool (e.g.: bower, npm, karma, ...), version 2.x focuses on the usage of scripts inside the package.json. If you want to run bower or karma just add a script to your package.json and use the run goal.

Version 2.x uses an abstraction for node package manager, so you can decide if you want to use npm or yarn.

Why not eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin?

The buildfrontend-maven-plugin is heavily inspired from the great work of eirslett. The main differences between both projects is that buildfrontend-maven-plugin installs the downloaded components into the local maven repository before extraction. This gives a better performance during a clean build, because we don't have to download the artifacts again.
