Is it possible to have PhpStorm automatically combine JS files after minification?
I'm using filewatchers with the YUI compressor to compress JS & CSS files. I like to break up these types of files instead of having a single massive file, but I want to combine some of them to reduce the number of HTTP requests browsers have to make when loading my website.
Is there a way to have PhpStorm combine certain files and put the output into a new file automatically after minifying them?
For example, let's say I have these files:
common.js
account.js
blog.js
forum.js
And the first three are loaded throughout the entire site, so it makes sense to put them together to avoid three HTTP requests:
common.min.js + account.min.js + blog.min.js => global.min.js
If this simply isn't possible in PhpStorm, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with this?

Hi there,
Create another file watcher that will watch for changes in those minified files .. and when detected will run your combining script.
Such "combining script" could be anything:

Another option is to have single file watcher for both of these steps: instead of just minifying first and then combining (separately) ... why not minify & combine at the same time. For this you need to write your own simple script/task that would do these steps and use it in File Watcher.
