I'm at chapter 11, I guess I read this part too quickly.
Very good book by the way

Regarding mvn-shade, I'm not really sure I understood what it does: does it 
include the classes of this third party library within my software package ?
Seems good to me (even though I have no idea if this is a recommended best 
practice)
