Re: Running maven shade on a preexisting jar
Ignore the sales pitch and the unpacking complexity. 1. Make an ordinary new project with no source code. 2. List your jar as a dependency. 3. Configure shade. It can be configured to operate on dependencies.

Re: Running maven shade on a preexisting jar
this is just guess 1. create jar project with no source 2. hook up maven-dependency-plugin to unpack your jar into target/classes 3. hook up maven-shade-plugin to massage your target/classes Good luck -D On Mon, Jul 7, 2014 at 2:15 PM, Robert James srobertja...@gmail.com wrote: How do I run Maven Shade on a standalone jar (ie with no sources to build from)?
