About ant-yui-compressor

ant-yui-compressor is an Apache Ant task for compressing multiple JavaScript and CSS files using YUI compressor.

Features

• JS files minification
• CSS files minification
• Option to automatically delete original source files after generating minified files

Origins

This project is based on yui-compressor-ant-task by Simon Buckle which only supports JS minification.

Basic Usage

<ant-yui-compressor todir="js">
	<fileset dir="js">
		<include name="backbone.js" />
		<include name="jquery.js" />
	</fileset>
	<mapper type="glob" from="*.js" to="*-min.js"/>
</ant-yui-compressor>

Note: The toDir attribute, as well as fileset & mapper elements are required. The fileset element specifies the list of files to be minified. The mapper elements describes the naming convention for minified files. Both fileset and mapper are standard Ant types and have various configuration options.
