We ran into an issue today where we had multiple JS includes that were converted into one big JS file by the ConcatProxyServlet that basically seems to just (as the name implies) concaternate multiple JS files into one. That is fine in principle, but it seems that some of the original minified files do not end with a semi-colon, for example jquery-ui [1]. ECMAscript has rules for implicit semi-colon insertion, one of which is "at the end of the stream" [2]. This means that when you start concaternating streams, you might need to insert an explicit semi-colon. However, the ConcatProxyServlet does not do this and we get JS errors because of it. I would say this is a bug, but I wanted to discuss it on the list first, before reporting it in Jira. WDYT?
Greetings, Marcel PS: later versions of jquery-ui DO add an explicit semi-colon so possibly authors of such libraries are aware of such concat issues and fixing this issue in a different way, but I still think Shindig should do "the right thing" [1] http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.8.18/jquery-ui.min.js [2] http://stackoverflow.com/a/6252209/260424
