I uses Nants contrib <concat> task to concat all of the files i wanted compressed into a single file, and an exec call to the yui-compressor jar file to compress the resulting file, which acheived the same result as this task (but not as pretty). However, I found one issue though which pertains to concatenating the files. When using the concat tasks, the files in the fileset are not concatenated in order, which could cause problems for some of my scripts (I suppose I could have removed those from the fileset and just included in the page as normal). I checked the code for the concat task and it wasn't doing anything special with the fileset, just iterating over it just as the yuicompressor task does, which leads me to believe it will have the same problem. I solved the problem by using the asis attribute for each <include> file in the fileset.

Even though I've had rails envy lately, Ruby and Python are both a little out of reach due to the learning curve plus it would unnecessarily complicate my build files beyond the current XML. Beyond minifying and coalescing some files, I don't need much else for now. Maybe Cruise Control a few months down which should integrate nicely with NAnt. Also, writing extensions for NAnt is really easy.</p> <p>Everything else is in good old batch files =)</p> I considered only MSBuild and NAnt for my purposes.

Everything else is in good old batch files =)
