define howto compress

[zwetan]

SWFObject used YUI Compressor

since then JS compressor have evolved
for now I would go with either

• UglifyJS2
• GCC

Uglify seems more standard to me. Maybe i'm wrong.
In webpack this is a standard builtin plugin for optimization : https://webpack.github.io/docs/optimization.html

[zwetan]

yeah uglifyjs can do the job, it can be installed by npm
and vs YUI compressor and GCC no java dependencies
eg. it make the tooling install simpler

@zwetan I permit myself to add labels to the issues, is it ok for you ?
I'm not very used with github issue management, but i find useful. So "question" labelled issue would be everything related with initial reflexion we are having.

[zwetan]

no problem at all, feel free to create new labels if needed
