We should probably try to just come up with a basic algorithm first, then I can code the Java end of it, and someone else could code the JS end of it.
I'll try to come up with some basic cases that we'd have to look for. Stuff like:
end of line - should it get a semi-colon, or is it continued on the next line.
end of function - does it need a semi-colon?
If the code is going to be compressed anyway, it might be easier to make it one big line, then try to find the missing semi-colons, that way you don't have to worry about end of line's that shouldn't have semi-colons like this:
var test = "test" +
"test";
or
var test = "test"
+ test;
Hmm...now you've got me thinking. This is bad....I have work to get done for my "real" job, but I want to make this work!

Maybe for those who don't have access to java, or don't want to install it or use it? It's always nice to have some flexibility and options. Either way, if it's a Java or _javascript_, it'll be nice to have a GUI version someday, but probably Jesse is right in focussing attention to fixing the missing smi-colon issue. IIRC, in some cases where the compressor would like a semi-colon, theremaysimply be one missing, or there may intentionally be one missing, because sometimes the _javascript_ breaks with those semi-colons in place. In each case the compressor has to do it's thing but figure out which case iswhichbefore adding semi-colons.

I've been using it all the time, but just from the command line. I'd love to be able to put more time in it, but I've been busy with other stuff :( If there was time to work on it, I think it might be better spent trying to add logic to determine where missing semi-colons are and where it's safe to add them in.
