GWT Compiler as a stand-alone javascript compiler?

[Transplant]

Is there a way to use the GWT Compiler as a stand-alone javascript
compiler to optimize/minimize pure javascript? If so, how does it
stack up to other javascript compilers?

Thanks,

[KevMo]

I don't know if you can use GWT, but check out Google Closure for javascript optimization/minification.

GWT does a very good job at optimizing Java into Javascript. However, the Closure Compiler team focus a lot of just pure Javascript optimization / minifications. In fact, the GWT team has been looking into use Closure Compiler a backend.

I have done some surveys on different Javascript compression and Closure Compiler outperforms them on almost all situations in terms of size. Although I might be bias as I am also a contributor to that project.
