This project wraps the YUI Compressor with an Ant task to provide better integration of JavaScript and CSS compression to an Ant-based build process. It provides more control with batch processing and output location through file sets and mapper in Ant over the command-line interface.
yuicompressor-ant works with the following:
- J2SE 5.0 or later
- Apache Ant 1.7.0 or later: http://ant.apache.org/
- YUI Compressor 2.4.8: http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2013/05/16/yuicompressor-2-4-8-released/
Use Maven to build this library.
In your Ant build file, use the <taskdef> task to define the
<yuicompressor> Ant task (change the JAR file locations as needed):
<taskdef name="yuicompressor"
classname="com.github.acwwat.ant.taskdefs.YUICompressorTask">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="yuicompressor-ant-2.4.8.jar" />
<pathelement location="yuicompressor-2.4.8.jar" />
</classpath>
</taskdef>
Refer to the JavaDoc description of the YUICompressorTask class for usage of
the Ant task.
