This is just a suggestion after I reviewed the jCoffeeScript project code (https://github.com/yeungda/jcoffeescript).

I suggest we just pull in the code necessary to compile CoffeeScript directly into the plugin and not have a dependency on the jCoffeeScript library. Here's my reasons:

First, the code is so minimal (it's essentially just one class, JCoffeeScriptCompiler) that having a dependency on another library doesn't seem worth it.

Second, it doesn't look like jCoffeeScript is keeping up with the latest release of CoffeeScript (currently 1.2) and it would be easier for this Grails plugin to remain current with the latest release by not having this additional dependency.

Please let me know what you think. As I mentioned above, it's just a suggestion. Thanks for the great work on the plugin!!

Thanks,
Bobby
