SoyToIncrementalDomSrcCompiler

This project uses the SoyToIncrementalDomSrcCompiler to compile the soy files to metal using Incremental DOM. Since the compiler is not independently released, the process to update it in this project is as follows:

1. Clone the https://github.com/google/closure-templates repository
2. Update the <version> value inside pom.xml to the date of the latest commit that is going to get released using yyyy-mm-dd as the date format
3. Run mvn install on the root folder
4. Copy the generated file from ~/.m2/repository/com/google/template/soy/{version}/soy-{version}-SoyToIncrementalDomSrcCompiler.jar to the jar folder in this project
