I am looking for a css compressor that can run on our build server that can be executed on a number of css files. Does anyone know of any good ones that work offline?

Yeah, the YUI Compressor by Yahoo! is a Java utility that works offline. It's very good and handles both JavaScript and CSS files.

"The YUI Compressor is fantastic. It works on javascript and css. Check it out.".. this is from the duplicate, a little bit of intellectual honesty please :)

@Jack: Are you insinuating that I looked up an existing answer and rewrote it here to gain reputation? Perhaps I just knew it because I'm a web developer? Look up my answer history, you'll find at least a hundred accepted answers related to web development. Please don't assume things about people unless you're sure about it.

I didn't accuse anyone. But I don't see any effort in looking for a duplicate for a question already asked FOR SURE before channeling all your developer powers to answer him.

Well, I use this site for my own interests. And when I stumble upon a question I can answer, I answer it. People interested in moderation (like you, obviously) are welcome to moderate the question if it is a duplicate, but I don't feel obligated to do so. So still, I don't see what I did wrong.

Thanks, had to mark, Marc as the correct answer though. He had it 1 min before you did.

Actually he posted 1 minute after, but it's okay :) Note that his link goes to a .NET library while mine is to a Java library. If you're on a Windows environment, both should work, but the Java one is more cross-platform.

Did you look at Yahoo! UI Library? This provides an programmable (.NET) CSS compressor (as well as an Javascript compressor).
