Ruby on Rails: How to organize JS and CSS files correctly?

Question

I would like to use the SlickGrid plugin in my Rails 3 application. I have several JS and CSS files that I have to include in my HTML page.

You can put all the necessary JS files in a directory public/javascriptsand all CSS files in a directory public/stylesheets. However, I do not like this solution because it breaks down the structure of the plugin package files.

I would like to put all the plugin files in one place (I thought about vendor/plugins, is this the best place?) And include the necessary files there. Is it possible?

What is the correct way to include JS and CSS files when integrating a plugin?
