RichFaces JSMin compressor can create invalid Javascript
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-4582
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-4582
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.2
         Environment: Windows XP
            Reporter: Matt Wheeler


If a Javascript file has something like:

var something = 'abc' + ++this.increment;

then, after compression, it will look something like var a='abc'+++this.increment.  This may not be the exact translation, but, the important part is the three plus signs together which make the Javascript invalid.  It can of course be fixed by changing the original script to var something = 'abc' + (++this.increment);, but everyone may not have that liberty.  I tried this with the YUI Compressor, and it seemed to handle it correctly, but we could not use that for other reasons.
