-------------------------------
Summary: Use wro4j to build/minimize javascript and css
Key: JSPWIKI-761
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-761
Project: JSPWiki
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Default template
Affects Versions: 2.9
Reporter: brushed
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.9.1
Currently jspwiki builds its javascript and css files from ant. This simply
means compression by means of the YUI compressors. The css and js sources are
large chunks of javascript and css.
Introducing wro4j : (See http://code.google.com/p/wro4j/)

Free and Open Source Java project which brings together almost all the modern
web tools: JsHint, CssLint, JsMin, Google Closure compressor, YUI Compressor,
UglifyJs, Dojo Shrinksafe, Css Variables Support, JSON Compression, Less, Sass,
CoffeeScript and much more. In the same time, the aim is to keep it as simple
as possible and as extensible as possible in order to be easily adapted to
application specific needs.
Easily improve your web application loading time. Keep project web resources
(js & css) well organized, merge & minify them at run-time (using a simple
filter) or build-time (using maven plugin) and has a dozen of features you may
find useful when dealing with web resources.
