            Description

            With the recent changes made under ICE-10290, the build process takes a lot longer to complete due to the fact that now several javascript resources are minified individually, instead of as part of a bundle. The root cause is that every time the minifying tool is invoked, it starts a new Java VM, instead of reusing the existing one. Using fork="false" in the build script doesn't work for the minifying tool, so a different approach is necessary.

              Note that the bulk minification process is failing on both my local OSX checkout, and in the Jenkins linux-based build:

              • On my OSX build, every attempt to invoke the bulk compressor fails with "[java] ERROR - Cannot read: xxx".

On Jenkins, see: http://dev.icesoft.com/jenkins/job/ICEfaces%204%20Trunk%20(Continuous)/765/consoleFull and search through the page for "res-js-compress:" to find the failures.

              r42894: added quotes around the list of paths passed to the batch minify tool so everything gets treated as a single argument, and, thus, it prevents issues when paths contain spaces.
