Running a plugin from the pom

[Steven Crosley <st...@mac.com>]

I'm trying to run the yui-compressor maven plugin found here:

http://alchim.sourceforge.net/yuicompressor-maven-plugin/index.html

It runs fine when I run it by itself:
$> mvn net.sf.alchim:yuicompressor-maven-plugin:compress
But when I add it to the pom.xml and run:
mvn package
it doesn't run but should be executed at the process-resources phase.   
Maybe I am not understanding the build process enough, but I thought  
if you run package, it would automatically run the process-resources  
phase, here is the plugin that I added to my pom.

		<plugin>
			<groupId>net.sf.alchim</groupId>
			<artifactId>yuicompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
			<executions>
			  <execution>
				<goals>
					<goal>compress</goal>
				</goals>
			  </execution>
			</executions>
			<configuration>
			  <nosuffix>true</nosuffix>
			  <aggregations>
				<aggregation>
				  <!-- remove files after aggregation (default: false)
				  <removeIncluded>true</removeIncluded>
				  -->
				  <!-- insert new line after each concatenation (default: false) -->
				  <insertNewLine>true</insertNewLine>
				  <output>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/js/ 
compressed/all.js</output>
				  <!-- files to include, path relative to output's directory or  
absolute path-->
				  <includes>
					<include>**/*.js</include>
				  </includes>
				  <!-- files to exclude, path relative to output's directory
				  <excludes>
					<exclude>**/*.pack.js</exclude>
					<exclude>**/compressed.css</exclude>
				  </excludes>
				  -->
				</aggregation>
			  </aggregations>
			</configuration>
       </plugin>

I don't use this plugin myself. You're probably better off contacting
the plugin developers directly (or a corresponding user list) to get
more specific help.

Doesn't look like that worked, do I also need to run this 'compress'  
goal in my mvn command? I would like to avoid that if possible.

Thanks,
Steven

You're missing a <phase> node which tells Maven when to run the goal
in that plugin. I added it to your XML -- try that.
