I was looking at improving the README file and was trying to decide how to get this up and running. Someone had commented on the prerequisites, so I thought I would try working towards #54 by removing the dependency on Java and yuicompressor.
Since less-css is already a prereq, this has now been included locally via package.json, along with a tool for minifying the JavaScript. While I believe these are working as expected, I can't say for sure until I have the app running. So, it's a bit more dependent on node modules, but no longer dependent on Java.
I haven't included the new built assets or the node_modules folder in this PR because I wanted to get your thoughts on the whole thing first.
Here is the output when running
./build.sh
