generate package.json from build.gradle definition

[dsvensson]

As both build.gradle and package.json wants version and project name, declaring the contents of package.json within build.gradle would be nice. Also makes the use of the typescript gradle plugin more coherent as the typescript dependency installed via npm would be declared in build.gradle. This is pretty much identical to what the bower plugin does, example as follows:

plugins {
    id 'com.craigburke.bower-installer' version '2.5.1'
}

bower {
    installBase = 'src/assets/bower' // <1>

    'angular'('1.3.x') {
        source 'angular.js' // <2>
    }

    'angular-animate'('1.3.x') {
        source 'angular-animate.js' >> '/angular/modules/' // <3>
    }

    'ui-router'('0.2.x') // <4>

    'bootstrap'('3.3.x') {
        source 'dist/css/*.min.css' >> 'styles/'
        source 'dist/fonts/**' >> 'fonts/'

        excludes 'jquery' // <5>
    }

    'animate.css'('https://github.com/daneden/animate.css.git') // <6>
}

The way bower plugin does it looks pretty cool. Will investgate how we can do it in the node plugin. If you have any experimental code around this I will be happy to look at it.

Nopes, none, unfortunately. Realized I forgot to link to the bower gradle project, so here comes if you haven't found it already:
