Where can I find the latest version of yuicompressor to download

Question

According to several pages on the internet, the yuicompressor download should be here

http://yuilibrary.com/download/#yuicompressor

But I can't find it on that page. I tried downloading the some of the other stuff to see if it was embedded within it, but couldn't find it.

I found the github page https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor but there is a comment there that the .jar file was removed from the repo about a month ago. I am not sure I have enough of the toolchain set up to try and build it from source.

Anyone any idea where I can get the latest .jar (I DO have yuicompressor-2.4.2.jar but that is quite old now)

Answer 1

For anyone who is here seaching for it: https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor/downloads (the jar is on the build folder)

Answer 2

One of the options available is to build the jar file yourself using ant. It should be pretty straightforward as

1. Downloading the source from https://github.com/yui/yuicompressor/archive/master.zip
2. Downloading and installing Apache Ant
3. "cd"ing to the extracted root directory and typing "ant"
