javascript obfuscation as part of build process

I have seen online javascript obfuscation tools. Would it be feasible or considered reasonable to have such a process run as a part of the build procedure for a web application, or how is obfuscation generally achieved?

Is it more of a manual process of creating a backup of the javascript to store with the project, and then running the contents through an obfuscator before doing a build? It seems like it would be cool to have an ant task that you could include as part of the build to handle that for you

Yes, that is quite possible and it should be done that way.

I find JScrambler a great solution for code protection and obfuscation, and they have support for build automation with their API clients. I personally use the Grunt JScrambler, but I've also tried the Gulp version.

For your particular case, you might want to take a look at this one Ant. I didn't tried though. There's a Java client also.

I also test the code after obfuscation, and before deploying it. I basically run my unit tests obfuscated for that.
