    <p>I am trying to use the YUI Compressor plugin for maven to compress my CSS and JavaScript, but I'm experiencing two problems.</p> <ol> <li><p>My configuration properly compresses and aggregates the JavaScript files, but if I run <code>mvn package</code> to make a war file, maven will compress the JavaScript files BEFORE it copies over the <code>src/main/webapp</code> folder. This overwrites all of the compressed css and JavaScript files. How can I fix this?</p></li> <li><p>How do I get the tomcat maven plugin to use the compressed JavaScript files rather than the ones in my <code>src/main/webapp/scripts</code> folder? When my application is trying to read <code>all.js</code>, it is failing because it is located in the <code>target/</code> directory and not in my <code>src/main/webapps</code> folder.</p> <pre><code> &lt;!-- Tomcat --&gt; &lt;plugin&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;org.codehaus.mojo&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;tomcat-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;1.1&lt;/version&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;warFile&gt;target/myapp-1.0.war&lt;/warFile&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; &lt;!-- YUI Compressor --&gt; &lt;plugin&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;net.alchim31.maven&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;yuicompressor-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;executions&gt; &lt;execution&gt; &lt;goals&gt; &lt;goal&gt;compress&lt;/goal&gt; &lt;/goals&gt; &lt;/execution&gt; &lt;/executions&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;excludes&gt; &lt;exclude&gt;**/jwplayer.js&lt;/exclude&gt; &lt;exclude&gt;**/audio-player-noswfobject.js&lt;/exclude&gt; &lt;exclude&gt;**/audio-player-uncompressed.js&lt;/exclude&gt; &lt;exclude&gt;**/audio-player.js&lt;/exclude&gt; &lt;exclude&gt;**/jscharts.js&lt;/exclude&gt; &lt;exclude&gt;**/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js&lt;/exclude&gt; &lt;/excludes&gt; &lt;nosuffix&gt;true&lt;/nosuffix&gt; &lt;jswarn&gt;false&lt;/jswarn&gt; &lt;force&gt;false&lt;/force&gt; &lt;aggregations&gt; &lt;aggregation&gt; &lt;removeIncluded&gt;false&lt;/removeIncluded&gt; &lt;insertNewLine&gt;true&lt;/insertNewLine&gt; &lt;output&gt;${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/scripts/all.js&lt;/output&gt; &lt;includes&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/json/json2.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jwplayer/jwplayer.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/font/font.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/underscore/underscore.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jquery/jquery-1.7.1.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jquery/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.min.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jquery/jquery.cookie.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jquery/jquery.fancybox.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jquery/jquery.highlight.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jquery/jquery.jcrop.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jquery/jquery.tmpl.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jquery/farbtastic.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/jscharts/jscharts.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;include&gt;**/myapp/homepage.js&lt;/include&gt; &lt;/includes&gt; &lt;/aggregation&gt; &lt;/aggregations&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; </code></pre></li> </ol> <p>Or am I just going about my goal the wrong way? </p> <p>Here is the maven output when packaging the war.

    2. CO@khmarbaise I've tried this. The problem is that this phase still occurs before the package phase. The copying occurs inside of the package phase. I am at a loss. I'm about to give up on this approach entirely. I think this compression/aggregation might have to happen on the server after I upload the war, which... to be honest... sucks :( I also will not really have a convenient way to test my production javascript via tomcat on my development machine either. Before, I just ran tomcat:run and that was it. I really don't want to complicate my development environment either.

    3. CO@khmarbaise it just seems that maven wasn't meant for this. Neither was spring either. Most modern web frameworks have this feature now, but java is honestly in the stone age. It's too bad that this is a big existing project. I have to get something working. I guess I could output the production javascript back to my `src/main/webapp/script` directory. That's the only thing I can think off. Would it be so bad to live with normal and .min versions of every file in my source directory? That doesn't seem very clean :/
