| Summary: | Ant Task for compressing javascript and CSS | ||
| Description: | Create an Ant task for integrating YUI Compressor, so deployed javascript and css files (packaged in WAR or EAR files, presumably) can be compressed as part of the build. Attached is a draft implementation I made without changing any YUICompressor code, so there is some copy and paste that can be eliminated by pulling code out of YUICompressor's main and having the Below is a sample taskdef and target. <target name="use.init" description="Taskdef the YuiCompressor" depends="jar"> <target name="runcompress" depends="use.init"> |

I'd recommend taking a look at yuibuilder or some other build tools out there. The compressor's job is just compression, nothing more. Writing build scripts is out of scope. |

Sorry to reopen this ticket, but there have been no mention of efficiency. Having to spawn an new process for each file to compress can be too slow: - compressing yui3's JavaScript files (69 files) using a macro, like yuibuilder does, takes 55 seconds. Can you please reconsider the resolution. An Ant task is just a trivial alternative user interface. |

Satyen, if there is anything in builder that is generic enough, maybe it is something we should package with yuicompressor. |

Although we have the Macro right now, which can be broken out, I think Damien's point is valid too - the spawning of the Java process for each file is a little excessive. Maybe worth writing up a custom ANT Task to perform a little better. I'll look into this. |

Thank you for your bug report. We are deprecating YUI Compressor in favor of yuglify. Please see our announcement for more information: http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2012/10/16/state-of-yui-compressor/. We will consider migrating these legacy tickets to GitHub if there are community maintainers willing to step up and own them. |
Forwarding to component owner for consideration.
