There is no support for jsCompile configuration in Maven

• Type: Feature Request

During the update of the form-field template to support 7.2, I needed to add a JavaScript dependency through the configuration jsCompile in the build.gradle, please check it below:

jsCompile group: "com.liferay", name: "com.liferay.dynamic.data.mapping.form.field.type", version: "4.0.25"

According to previous discussion with the Blade team, indeed, there is no support for the mentioned configuration on Maven's side. Therefore, the goal of this ticket is report this limitation and also ask a solution for it.

Note: From what I could understand from my discussion with the Blade team, a similar limitation, like the one described above, was faced previously with the buildCSS configuration. Probably, a similar solution can be used to fix the reported problem.

Thanks in advance.
