Combine minify and compress CSS/JavaScript

Question

I have an application on which I used different js libraries and few css files. I want to use a jQuery plugin or a js script in order to combine minify and compress CSS/JavaScript. If someone has a suggestion how to do that please let me know.

Thank you.

I don't think that there is a real plugin for that, websites I use:

http://jscompress.com/
for Javascript code compression and
http://www.lotterypost.com/css-compress.aspx
for css compression.

I use Chirpy http://chirpy.codeplex.com/ which is a Visual Studio Add-in for minifying and merging js and css. Don't know if it available for other dev tools though.
