Description Mark Macdonald

The build script currently runs the r.js AMD optimizer using Rhino. It should run it through node.js instead.

The advantage is that we'd be using the V8 JavaScript parser rather than Rhino's, so minor syntax issues (extra commas, use of reserved words like 'char', etc) would no longer break the optimization.

This would mean, however, that we'd have to use the uglify compressor for minification, since Google Closure is only available when running r.js from Java.
