["Martin Strand (JIRA)" <de...@tapestry.apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1792?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12574063#action_12574063 ] 

Martin Strand commented on TAPESTRY-1792:
-----------------------------------------

Yahoo's compressor works great, is very efficient, and can also compress css:

The js/css files bundled with Tapestry can be compressed at build time if you use this Maven plugin:

> Tapestry should catch downloads of JavaScript libraries, and should "pack" the JavaScript ... remove comments and unecessary whitespace.  I believe Dojo has a library to do this, it may even shorten variable names (!).
> A smart implementation of this would manage to cache the compressed JS, and notice when the uncompressed version changed.
