Getting started

The simplest way to start using this plugin is:

1.Enable plugin in your pom.xml

a. javax namespace jsp usage

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.github.hazendaz.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>htmlcompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.9.2.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <goalPrefix>htmlcompressor</goalPrefix>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

b. jakarta namespace jsp usage or any other usage if not using jsp’s

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.github.hazendaz.maven</groupId>
            <artifactId>htmlcompressor-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <goalPrefix>htmlcompressor</goalPrefix>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

2.Put XML and HTML files under src/main/resources into any underlying structure as HTMLCompressor will recursively process files

3.For HTML compression, create integration.js file under src/main/resources where html is stored with the contents like below. It will integrate HTML templates into JavaScript (%s will be replaced with JSON object and copied to the target folder).

var htmlTemplatesInjector = {
    htmlTemplates: %s
};

4.Run maven goals:

mvn htmlcompressor:html
mvn htmlcompressor:xml

5.Check the target folder for output where resources are stored.
