Sorry for the late reply, Maven traffic is a bit to much for me. I did want to chime in though that I think the CXF build gives a real good example of how to use the Shade plugin:
http://fisheye6.cenqua.com/browse/celtixfire/trunk/distribution/bundle/pom.xml?r=HEAD I also wrote a custom transformer for CXF which merges various Spring.xmlfiles: http://fisheye6.cenqua.com/browse/celtixfire/branches/headerwork/buildtools/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/maven/PluginTransformer.java?r=HEAD I realize its no substitute for documentation, but its better than nothing... :-) - Dan On 6/15/07, Jason van Zyl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If it were to be released here it would automatically have to pass the plugin documentation check. In short it's a high performance JAR aggregator which the ability mangle any class references. Generally for the purpose of leaving public APIs intact and mangling the rest: a poor mans enforced modularity. > On 6/15/07, Cabasson Denis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> >> >> > -----Message d'origine----- >> > De : Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> > Envoyé : vendredi 15 juin 2007 07:10 >> > À : Maven Developers List >> > Objet : Re: What's the deal with the shade plugin? >> > >> > >> > On 15/06/2007, at 3:02 PM, Jason van Zyl wrote: >> > >> > > >> > > On 14 Jun 07, at 9:33 PM 14 Jun 07, Brett Porter wrote: >> > > >> > >> Hi, >> > >> >> > >> Took a look at this, and I see the shade plugin JIRA was >> > created with >> > >> the maven defaults for notifications and permissions, not >> > mojos where >> > >> it currently lives in the sandbox. >> > >> >> > > >> > > That was my ruby script for creating projects that just >> default to >> > > Maven settings. >> > > >> > >> Is the intent to move it into this project, or was the JIRA >> > >> project created incorrectly? >> > >> >> > > >> > > Yup. >> > > >> > >> Given it is a required part of the build now, and very useful in >> > >> general, I'd love to see it brought out of it's state of alpha- >> > >> ness and included in our stable of plugins.
