Hey thanks for responding. But I figured it out. There was a java
version mismatch. The system path was pointing to 1.5 and build process
needs 1.6. Ideally steal\build\js\jsminify.js is supposed to throw any
errors it encounters on the screen, but it wasn't doing so. Putting
a steal.print(options.err) in the method localClosure() in jsminify.js
helped narrow down to the issue.
Hope this tip helps other people facing the same issue.
Thanks
