SoyAjaxController: minimification using google closure library may be an overkill (large library) #22

Closed matiwinnetou closed 11 years ago

A possible alternative is Yahoo YUI JavaScript compressor:

http://yui.github.io/yuicompressor/

The task is to write an alternative implementation that uses YUI compressor instead of Google Closure, which is a bit overbloated maybe?

from .m2 repository...

closure-compiler-v20130411.jar │3'499'373

3.5 MB for a JavaScript compiler as a dependency is a bit of an overkill...

This seems to be in contrast to yuicompressor-2.4.8.jar which has about 788 KB, also not small but not 3,5 MB!

Closure seems to be better though:
