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?
