Simon I get the same effect here. It's because the shaded bundle jar can't be copied over the original jar. The shader plugin that is used here is alpha and has zero docs so I really can't tell what it's doing or why it's going worng without diving into the code. I took a quick look but I couldn't see anything obvious. I'm assuming it runs OK for ant as he has been producing distributions so must be something about my (our) environment. My temporary solution to get round it is to
1/ build the bundle and copy the shaded jar over the jar that is automatically put in the .m2 maven repository by the bundle build 2/ comment out the bundle module in the distribution build and run the distribution build. Simon
