I suggest to check the yuicompressor-maven-plugin [1] which utilizes YUI
[2]. Probably Google has similar tools.
It supports compression (minify + ofuscate) as well as aggregation.

About distribution:
I suggest to put the source JS files into the -src dist and the
compressed and aggregated one into the -bin dist.

About version control:
I suggest to only put source JS files to svn.

About trust:
Well do you trust your java compiler? In my opinion for such tasks a
tool should be used which code is reviewable. So that an security
auditor might to load the source, check, compile and verify the steps.
Therefore I think a tool like YUI is better than some (uncontrolled)
website like http://dean.edwards.name/packer/.
