This plugin is using YUICompressor version 2.4.2. Current release is 2.4.8. One bug that exists is squelching a required space after "and" keyword in media queries.
Does not transfer my UTF-8 encoded js File to an UTF-8 encoded minified version.
As long as there is no chance to configure the encoding parameter, it's useless for our use case.
Would be really nice, if you could add a way to not only save a new "not existing" file withe compressed Code, but make it able to overwrite existing file.
For example:
I have myScript.js in the folder. All minified JS are named myScript.min.js.
I change the stuff in myScript.js and wan't to overwrite the myScript.min.js by compress the JS.
Even a way like "copy compressed source to clipboard" would be really nice.
This work for me on Eclipse Luna 4.4.0 on Ubuntu 14.04.
The menus ("External Tool/Compress javascript" and "External Tool/Compress CSS") are only available with the context menu on js/css files. Nothing available on the whole project, the plugin cannot concatenate multiple source files.

i find a free online service using YUI compressor to minify js www.online-code.net/minify-js.html and compress css www.online-code.net/minify-css.html, so it will reduce the size of web page.

Anyway, thanks a lot for this Plugin.

It should create a new Entry inside External Tools menu for minifying css and js but it doesn't, maybe is not compatible with latest eclipse
