Is there a specific reason why you renamed the compiler.jar ?

I cant access the compiler.jar cause its renamed into a prefixed version with a version number at the end of the name.

Can you please rename the file into compiler.jar back?

We didn't rename the compiler.jar. Are you sure you are using the correct package? Our package is named google-closure-compiler. See #25 - we have had reports that other packages not maintained by the Closure-Compiler team may be broken.

If you're getting the compiler from dl.google.com, we did rename it. This is in the release notes and was announced at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/closure-compiler-discuss/7VyMemWKqdg

If you're getting it from the official npm package, everything should be the same as before, as Chad says.

I missed this. Why did we rename it? That seems like it would cause folks
unnecessary pain.

It simplifies our release process. If it causes pain a lot of pain we can rename it back to compiler.jar for the next release.

So far, the only reports have been from npm plugins that pre-date our official grunt/gulp plugins. I have no problem breaking plugins that haven't been updated in 3 years.
