There is a simple workaround that makes a watch mode unnecessary:

coffee -w -c dir dir2 ...

which you can add to a simple maven exec plugin if you really want to configure and run it from maven.

It could still be worth adding actually - as just calling coffee gives you zero guarantee over a) the version of coffee your using b) the version of node that coffee is run under.

There was a pull request awhile ago to add support for calling coffee if running on Linux - but it also silently ignored any of the version settings specified in the plugin configuration which is why I kinda ignored it ( tho I think I mentioned that on the PR, not sure now ).

A watch mode triggering the various joinsets could be rather complex, maybe....

+1 Watching simple non-joining updates would be great for development
