Custom compiler with maven

Question

I'm trying to make Maven2 to compile coffeescript to javascript. As far as I'm concerned there is no plugin which provides compiling coffeescript.

Is there a compiler-plugin for maven which can be parameterized with a compiler (for any programming language)?

This is actually the case of the Maven Compiler Plugin, see Using Non-Javac Compilers. So one could imagine providing a pluggable compiler implementation to compile coffeescript.
