What javascript compressors have you guys used before? I'm looking for a simple, downloadable/installable javascript compressor that isn't ancient. I've never used one before. A lot of the ones I am finding are several years old, and all of them are web-based, (ex. http://www.diveintojavascript.com/tools/javascript-minifier-packer-compressor-compiler).
I really don't know a lot about what I am looking for in terms of features. I just want to develop javascript code that runs fast, which means the compressor has to be able to remove whitespace, newline characters, and comments. I also don't know much about the evolution of the javascript language itself, if its syntax has changed over the years, and--if so--which compressors work with older javascript code and which compressors work with newer javascript code.
