Part of me feels that none of the dependencies should be shaded for the avatica artifact. This would give avatica-server and others artifacts depending on avatica the ability to exclude any dependencies they want. Having explicit control over what dependencies can and can't be excluded is nice. Maybe an avatica-client artifact that has the dependencies shaded would be nice since it would allow clients to connect with a single jar. I think this would get the best of both worlds (avatica without shaded, avatica-client that is shaded). I don't know what impact this would have on downstream users of Avatica though. Kevin Risden
