How to execute Maven plugins dynamically?

Question

I am using maven-remote-resources-plugin, which retrieves the remote resources (such as css file) from another project to a specific directory in the current project. Since I am developing the css files, I would really like to see the changes in runtime with a simple reload-page click on the browser, instead of recompiling and rebuilding the maven project.

My first thought is to remove the build tags wrapping around the plugins, which didn't work.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>      
            <artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>

How can I achieve this? First post -- thanks very much to all so-ers!
