Method Detail

compressJavaScript

java.lang.String compressJavaScript(java.lang.String script)
                                    throws java.lang.Exception

Compress a JavaScript file to a smaller version of the original

Parameters:

script - The script to compress

Returns:

The compressed script

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - The implementations of this interface are all likely to have different things they can throw. We are going to catch Exception anyway because we can continue (by using uncompressed scripts) so why force implementors to nest to another exception type when we can just let them use the original exception?
