No support for closure-compiler NPM package

[edwinm]

There is a NPM package for closure-compiler, which makes installing it much easier (npm install...).

This package installs the jar in node_modules/closure-compiler/lib/vendor/compiler.jar

Since the last directory is called vendor, but grunt-closure-compiler always expects "build", so it will never work.

Please provide support for the closure-compiler NPM package.

There are already multiple pull requests and forks addressing this issue (e.g., https://github.com/ChadKillingsworth/grunt-closure-compiler/). Any chance to get an updated version published on npm?

You can try my work.... looks like this repo isn't very active, so i've decide to make my own closure grunt plugin, but still working on it.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/grunt-google-closure-tools-compiler

I just took existing issues from existing grunt plugins and tried to solve them. I also got the problem that one plugin had a feature which another closure plugin did not have, eg a banner.

It's my first grunt plugin so it's still in development but it should work for most situations for now
