Unify Javascript build/debug/develop/test technologies #337

Closed jesseeichar closed 10 years ago

jesseeichar commented 10 years ago

At the moment YUI-compressor is used in web-client and web modules. Closure compiler, less and python are used in web-ui.

This makes the build process difficult and introducing new developer to the system can be confusing because they won't know what technology to use or how to debug.

There should be one technology (or set of technologies) used for integrating Javascript into Geonetwork.
