I am using yui compressor to compress the js files in my web app.
I have configured the plugin as indicated on yui maven plugin site yui compressor maven plugin.
This is the pom plugin conf

And here is the log at compress time
These will use the artifact files already in the core ClassRealm instead, to allow them to be included in PluginDescriptor.getArtifacts().

The problem is the files are getting aggregated into one file but without compressing.
The link above uses version 1.1 and the plugin version I am using is 0.7.1. Is this going to make any diff.
Can someone tell what is wrong here.
PS: I have obfuscated some text in log to follow the compliance in my firm. So you may find it mismatching somewhere.
