Feature request #1437: Switch to Google Closure compiler for Javascript minimization

   Having some problems in getting this to work. If I copy and paste some JavaScript such as this:

   • https://wincent.dev/javascripts/ajax.max.js

   Into the web-app version of the compiler at:

   • http://closure-compiler.appspot.com/

   Then compilation works fine and no errors or warnings are emitted. Same if I paste in the URL to the web-app instead of pasting in the source directly.

   But if I try compiling the same file using the local compiler.jar, it bails thusly:

   $ java -jar compiler.jar --js=public/javascripts/ajax.max.js  --js_output_file=public/javascripts/ajax.min.js
   {SyntheticVarsDeclar}: ERROR - Variable $ first declared in {SyntheticVarsDeclar}
   
   1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

   And the output file is 0 bytes in size.

   Would be interesting to know what the cause of the discrepancy is.
