(SOLVED)[ERROR] invalid return: return DataTable.settings[i].oInstance;

Hi,
I just downloaded the latest version(1.9.4) and tried to include it into my atlassian-jira-gadget, but after running the installation again,
the internal YUI javascript compiler threw this error:

[INFO] Compiling javascript using YUI
[INFO] compressing to /Users/xxx/target/classes/datatable/js/jquery.dataTables.min-min.js

I have included jquery.colorpicker, and Flexigrid without any of these errors. they run fine. So I think this error really belongs to DataTables.

Can you please help me?

Thanks

Don't compress the files in media/src . The DataTables main file is built from those files using a shell script. Only one file is required for DataTables the js/jquery.dataTables.s one - and there is already a minified version available with better compression that YUI compressor.
