Glen,
The cxf-bundle module is designed to produce an "uber" jar which is all
the module jar combined into a single jar. That is the jar we put by
default in the lib directory. The issue is that, from maven, there
wasn't a good way to depend on the uber jar if you wanted that
dependency instead of all the individual jars. The new version of
the shade plugin solves that by doing a few things:
1) REMOVES the individual jars from the pom
2) Promotes the transitive dependencies as direct deps of the pom
3) Creates a uber sources jar to match the uber jar.
This basically makes the uber jar usable from maven. For example, if
you take the example off your blog, you have:
<!-- Depending on your requirements you may need more or less
modules from cxf -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-frontend-jaxws</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>
That comment kind of says it all. The user needs to know what they
need. You COULD now just do:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-bundle</artifactId>
<version>${cxf.version}</version>
</dependency>
and it would get everything.
