You are right, I guess I'm too spoiled by CLJS/Closure that I don't have to worry about things like that. ;) > > As a build tool author I don't quite agree with using a naming convention > > to detect the files (eg. *.inc.js, ...).

The only external (non-closure) JS I use is CodeMirror. I have several different builds, most of them do not need CodeMirror. Yet CLJSJS (boot) would prepend it to everything. Also in my case not all builds use the same amount of CodeMirror (eg. one gets clojure-mode vs the other does not). This stuff is pretty complex, I don't think we can solve it by just creating a few jar files. We MUST address the fact that the produced JS files are shipped to clients (ie. browsers) a lot, therefore we must take great care that they don't contain unnecessary stuff. Shipping CodeMirror to everyone of our users would be a disaster since it is only used for backend/admin stuff. /thomas -- Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with your first post. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ClojureScript" group.
