Hello,
I just merged FLINK-30350 with which the dependency reduced pom by the
shade plugin is no longer put into the target directory but the modules
basedir instead.
This avoids some side-effects where the modules basedir was changed
after the shade-plugin ran (to the target/ directory), which affected
some plugins and blocked certain plugin upgrades. This also solves some
long-standing issues with some IT cases not running in the IDE since
they relied on this directory being changed; a nice side-effect.
The new path was already added to the .gitignore on master and the
1.15/1.16 branches (the latter already happened a while ago actually).
Please make sure you don't accidentally commit such a pom when going
back on a branch without the gitignore changes.
Let me know if you run into any issues.
