You can do something like that as part of the build (using YUI Compressor)
<target name="js.minify">
<apply executable="java" parallel="false">
<fileset dir="." includes="foo.js, bar.js"/>
<arg line="-jar"/>
<arg path="yuicompressor.jar"/>
<srcfile/>
<arg line="-o"/>
<mapper type="glob" from="*.js" to="*-min.js"/>
<targetfile/>
</apply>
</target>
<target name="css.minify">
<apply executable="java" parallel="false">
<fileset dir="." includes="*.css"/>
<arg line="-jar"/>
<arg path="yuicompressor.jar"/>
<arg line="--line-break 0"/>
<srcfile/>
<arg line="-o"/>
<mapper type="glob" from="*.css" to="*-min.css"/>
<targetfile/>
</apply>
</target>

Is YUI Compressor is open source?

It's available under the BSD License, so yes it is open source and free to anyone (if that's what you are asking). developer.yahoo.com/yui

Just a quick intrusion—you may also want to look at code.google.com/p/jslint4java for running JSLint from ant.
This blog post about using YUI compressor to minify JS/CSS using Ant might help you.
