Hi Matt, if the shade plugin reports that it include the required JAR, then maybe the transformers in the shade plugin are not set up correctly. Mind that the XML snippet here [1] cannot be copied as-is, but it is necessary to strip the "\" and join the lines. The "\" are just used as line continuation markers because in the PDF version of the document, the example would otherwise be too wide.
You can double-check if the transformers worked right by extracting the JAR file and inspecting the types.txt file.
