Question

i have search around google and stackoverflow, what i found is just Compress all file .js with Google Closure Compiler Application in one File that puting it all to one.. + can we put a wildcard or something?

so i can do something like

java -jar bin/compiler.jar ../../path/my/*.js --js_output_file ../../path/new/*.js

Simple mode or advanced mode? For advanced mode, it always comes out into one single file, but you can turn on the file-boundary markers so that you can manually cut the output file back into pieces. — Stephen Chung, Jul 30 '11 at 05:22

Bash scripting to the rescue. Something like

files=`find ../../path/my -name "*.js"`
for i in $files;
do
    java -jar bin/compiler.jar $i --js_output_file `dirname $i`../new/$i.js
done

(not tested)
