yuicompressor-maven-plugin not working at mvn install or designated phase

Question

Here is the maven pom.xml build session

<build>
        <pluginManagement>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

                        <target>1.7</target>
                        <compilerArgument></compilerArgument>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                    <configuration>
                        <warName>${project.artifactId}</warName>
                        <warSourceExcludes>**/*.js,**/*.css</warSourceExcludes>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>net.alchim31.maven</groupId>
                    <artifactId>yuicompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>1.5.1</version>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <phase>prepare-package</phase>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>compress</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                    <configuration>
                        <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
                        <jswarn>false</jswarn>
                        <nosuffix>true</nosuffix>
                        <linebreakpos>-1</linebreakpos>
                        <excludes>
                            <exclude>**/*.min.js</exclude>
                            <exclude>**/*.min.css</exclude>
                        </excludes>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </pluginManagement>
    </build>

and when run mvn install or mvn pre-package(which is the designated phase ) there is no yuicompressor-maven-plugin working log.

$mvn install

but using mvn yuicompressor:compress can get the yuicompressor log shows that the plugin is working.

and I also don't know how to package the compressed css and js to the war file (with the same file name cause I don't want to tweak the include code in html template). Have been working on this about a whole day, someone give me a clue?

This case may have solution but the plugin version 1.5.1 has a bug because it cannot be configured for some simple cases. Say we want to configure webappDirectory and sourceDirectory. If sourceDirectory is configured different from the default then the plugin executes compression twice once with the configured value and then with the default value which defeats the purpose of sourceDirectory configuration. I haven't been able to compress from a directory that had to have changes made before compression. — user250343, Aug 22 '20 at 15:48

You are only defining, but not executing your plugin by putting the configuration between the tag.
