Jürgen Weber commented on MSHADE-287:
-------------------------------------
We had a case where a Spring Boot application would work standalone, but not in
a JBoss .war. ( [1]) Cause was a different classpath order in WEB-INF/lib
The Spring Boot application's classpath (and its order) is defined by pom.xml,
but the order of the jars in WEB-INF/lib is undefined (actually it is the
result of java.io.File.list() which depends on the underlaying filesystem
implementation).
A work around for the order problem in WEB-INF/lib is:
for jar in reverse(classpath)
unpack jar overwrite=true into directory d
create jar of d
This jar will show the same resources as the original pom classpath.
Of course one can implement this with a few lines of python or bash, but it
would be great, if this could be done with a Maven plugin.

> honor classpath order

> Key: MSHADE-287
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-287
> Project: Maven Shade Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jürgen Weber
> Priority: Major
>
> Shade Plugin should be able to honor classpath order semantics: -cp
> a.jar:b.jar has the effect that resources in b.jar are not visible if also in
> a.jar
> It should be possible to have the same effect with Shade Plugin: iterate for
> last to first in classpath: extract current element overwriting content of
> previous extracted.
> use case:
> running an app with Maven has a defined classpath order, whereas the order of
> jars in WEB-INF/lib is rather random. So you could build an ueber jar
> containing all jars of lib which would result in the desired class order.
> This is currently not possible with
> org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.ShadeRequest as the input jars are in a
> java.util.Set which has no order.
