yuicompressor maven plugin and maven-war-plugin
maven, plugins, sonatype, yui-compressor
Solution
OK. I finally figured this out. You need to define a `<webappDirectory>` in the yuicompressor plugin that can then be referenced as a `<resource>` in the maven-war-plugin. In the example below I'm using `<directory>${project.build.directory}/min</directory>`
<plugin>
<groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>yuicompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>compressyui</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compress</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<nosuffix>true</nosuffix>
<warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/WebContent</warSourceDirectory>
<webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/min</webappDirectory>
<jswarn>false</jswarn>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-war</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>war</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/WebContent</warSourceDirectory>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/WebContent</warSourceDirectory>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>${project.build.directory}/min</directory>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Problem
I've been struggling with getting this plugin to play nicely with the maven-war-plugin for a couple of hours now and I thought it was time to ask for help. I have the plugin defined as follows: ``` <plugin> <groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId> <artifactId>yuicompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.3.0</version> <executions> <execution> <id>compressyui</id> <phase>process-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>compress</goal> </goals> <configuration> <nosuffix>true</nosuffix> <warSourceDirectory>${basedir}/WebContent</warSourceDirectory> <jswarn>false</jswarn> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> ``` If I remove nosuffix=true then I can see the compressed/minified -min.js files get into the war as expected, but with this flag on they are being overwritten by the maven-war-plugin (I'm assuming) when it builds the war file. I really need the file names to remain the same though ... does anyone have an idea of what I need to change in order to use the same filenames and still get the minified versions into the final war?
