Best java tool to cache and minify the dojo, jquery js and CSS

Question

The dojo and jquery libraries are downloaded from google CDNS and used in our project. I am looking for a java tool which can cache and minify these tools. The cache should happen inside the ROOT project of tomcat.I know YUI compressor is great minifier but looking for a open source tool which can do both caching and minify.

Answer 1

When it comes to minifying and compiling javascript and other web resources (like css) wro4j is probably the most flexible you will find. I'm not sure if it caches in the way you are talking about but it does have a servlet which can be used from tomcat.
