JS obfuscator for a package/project

[cool2005]

I have been trying several JS obfuscator but none of them work
with a set of JS files.

There are references between files so it will never work if the JS
obfuscator
process each file independly.

Any JS obfuscator out there remember each var/function name so that
they can be used in other files where the same var/function name
appears?

thanks

Have you tried merging the files into one first?
Afterwards, you could split them up.

None of them truly "work" to start with. They only make it minimally
more difficult. Search the archives, there are threads abound about
obfuscators and the problems with them.

Yup. So put them all in the same file.

If people spent as much time trying to write quality code as they do
trying to hide bad code there wouldn't be any bad code on the web.

It is impossible since the js code reside in hundreds of plugs-in
pieces. They can only be obfuscated in a command line with a batch
process. Many of them are actually JSP files with js...mixing with
HTML...

You mean, "None of the ones you tried."

Any useful obfuscator tool has to handle this smartly.

Yes. See

The online running example shows two files with such cross links.
