Adding JS/CSS compression and JS validation using YUI Compressor, JSLint, and jsmin to ant script

updated script - Minify CSS/JS ant revisited using YUI compressor ------- I have been expanding Alistair Davidson's wonderful General ANT build and release scripts. I added js and css minifying shown in Building Web Applications With Apache Ant along with javascript validation through jslint. JSLint4Java "is a java wrapper around the fabulous tool by Douglas Crockford, jslint. It provides a simple interface for detecting potential problems in JavaScript code." JSMin Ant Task - "is a filter which removes comments and unnecessary whitespace from javascript files. It typically reduces filesize by half, resulting in faster downloads. It also encourages a more expressive programming style because it eliminates the download cost of clean, literate self-documentation." Yahoo! UI Library - The YUI Compressor is JavaScript / CSS minifier designed to be 100% safe and yield a higher compression ratio than most other tools. All downloads / scripts can be found in the links above. ----- Basically I added three files to his root folder (build_release): jslint4java-1.1+rhino.jar, jsmin.0.0.2.jar, and yuicompressor-2.1.1.jar. Then added this code to where he defines taskdef in his build.xml:
Then in the target jarupTempDir, I added: _
