Minifying an ExtJS application using UglifyJS?

Is it possible to minify an ExtJS 4 MVC style application using a third party tool like UglifyJS?

I've tried compressing each file in the app into a single file, but the ExtJS loader then reports that it can't find the files to load.

I am aware that Sencha has an official build tool, but I am trying to get the minify to work with a more industry standard tool that is easier to deploy on servers.

I think it is possible to use UglifyJS manually but I'd recommend going with Sencha Cmd. Besides JS compression, it deals with many other tasks: dependency tracking, package management, theme building, etc. It's not that all of these are required for Ext JS application but Sencha Cmd will definitely save you a lot of time and pain, and the bigger your app is, the more pronounced the effect will be down the road.

Just my 2¢ anyway.
