I've checked the issues and didn't see this particular problem documented. When the shade plugin generates a jar comprised of all the classes, the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF directory and file are lowercased. The specifications as I have read them state the case doesn't matter, but along with the lower case meta-inf/manifest.mf, there is also and upper-case META-INF/ directory with all the maven pom files in the jar. I think this situation where there is a lowercase and uppercaser meta-inf directory is the issue and causes the manifest.mf file to be unreadable in these jars ( it looks as if there isn't one ).
Could anyone else confirm this situation, or know if this is a known issue? -- Jeffrey D. Brekke Wisconsin, USA [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
