Description
As CKEditor is JavaScript project, it will be nice to have a javascript build tool that let other users get rid of using java for build task.
CKBuilder uses Closure Compiler as the minifier and this was the reason why the builder itself was created using Rhino (JavaScript engine in Java). The build task is pretty complex, thus the need of having a dedicated tool. We were considering switching to node.js + uglify to build CKEditor already, but after a quick check we understood that it doesn't make sense to do it now, as it would take a few weeks at least, just to have a tool that does exactly what it does now.
When we'll be working on a new builder for CKEditor, you might be sure that we'd use node.js this time as we love JavaScript just like you.
