Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: is there a uber-jar solution in flink? I hate shade

1. spring dropped osgi quite some time ago... now they use their own uber

now they have their own strategy
2. yes because shading do cause problems. though, I don't deny it can work.
3. I would like to discover in this area as there seems no people do so.
because shading already caused too many problems in my repo.
