I have a single module Maven build where one of the dependences has well over 200 transitive dependencies. These transitive dependencies are incompatible with the rest of my application.
I would like to use the maven-shade-plugin to create a shaded jar uber jar that contains all of these dependencies that all have been relocated to a custom package name. Then I need the Maven build to include this new shaded dependency instead of the prior/regular one. How can I configure the maven-shade-plugin to do this? So far I have not gotten it to process dependencies at all only other project code. I want it to start relocating at the top level dependency that I specify and have it include all transitive ones from there. Any pointers, examples are greatly appreciated. -Dave
