closure-gun

This gets around the long startup time of Google Closure Compiler using Nailgun, which runs a single java process in the background and keeps all of the classes loaded.

Installation:

• Required: Maven (mvn) and C++ Compiler (gcc or clang)
• Supported environment: OS X and Linux

$ npm install closure-gun

Usage:

$ closure-gun --js script.js --js_output_file script.min.js

closure-gun (fork fast-closure-compiler2) vs. fast-closure-compiler:

Folked because the original fast-closure-compiler is not maintained.

The advantages are:

• Support latest Closure Compiler and Nailgun
• Support OS X 10.9+ (tested 10.10/10.11)
• Support Linux environment in addition to OS X
• Expose closure-gun as global command instead of closure
