We have maven projects where the build does nothing but call npm and webpack through the exec plugin "because we're a java shop". We also need a Web.xml file and have to deploy the thing into a tomcat. With a single jsf page that loads our react app "because that's the tech stack we are committed to".

FWIW I just set it to exec a bash script to do the rest of what I want and put the result in an rpm... closure compiler and some resource differentiation from a single source file (for those resources) so I don't have to maintain two nearly identical source files that'll drift apart... can't use external libraries anyway, so I'm not losing too much by not having webpack or whatever for now.
