Faces.js and Maven compressor

[pizzi80]

As promised a long time ago, this is my contribution to Mojarra: This is a first release which can be used as a base for further code cleanups and optimizations.

Maven

1. Removed yuicompressor (dead project with no support for ES6+ js)
2. Added Google Closure maven plugin for minification https://github.com/blutorange/closure-compiler-maven-plugin

Faces JS

1. tested and minified with ECMASCRIPT5_STRICT profile of Google Closure
2. use strict
3. const and let instead of var
4. Removed IE-5-6-7-8-9-10 support
5. Removed IE 5-6-7 hacks and memory hacks
6. Removed FrameTransport
7. FormData for File upload
8. Many minor optimizations
9. Removed / Commented out unused and very old functions
10. ~ 10 kB Minified and Gzipped

I've created an Eclispe account wired with this github account ... I need to follow the instructions on the video... ;)

@melloware I was not sure if it was better to remove everything or not... it's a 3kLOC single file full of hacks..... now that you told me to remove everything, tomorrow I will continue to work on it 😉😉

To me I hate leaving dead blocks of code. That is what Git history is for!
