I could not find a way to add individual files to shaded jar, I think this is something not possible. I workarounded the problem by packageing these individual files into a jar file using a maven project. Then I included this jar as a dependency in my t4-core-all project and in Shade plugin configuration and it works perfect.
Thanks for introducing me to Shade Plugin, it helped me a lot.
