Hello Kyle, to my knowledge your analysis is good, you are correct. Sorry but I did not take the time to read your pom excerpt but I have been using the shade plugin for quite some time now and concluded that shaded artifacts must be leafs in the Maven modules tree. By "leaf" I mean no artifact in the same Maven reactor must depend upon a shaded artifact. You must separate the build of a shaded artifact and those depending upon it.
>From my understanding, this relates to the way Maven calculates the dependencies: they are calculated at the beginning of the build, not at the end or incrementally. While the shade plugin acts merely as a hack and replaces the pom at the end of building the shaded module. It's too late in the process as the dependencies of artifacts depending on the shaded one have already been calculated. My advice would be to ensure you have 2 separated projects, not part of the same reactor build to prevent problems or surprise for newcomers.
