I am building my JAR file using the shade plugin in order to give me an all-in-one JAR artifact which contains all dependency JARs. When I build

following, indicating that there's a duplicate class file in a JAR in the repository, which I assume is coming from the shade plugin when it's doing
its thing:

[WARNING] We have a duplicate
net/sf/cglib/util/StringSwitcher$StringSwitcherKey.class in
C:\dev\maven\repository\cglib\cglib-full\2.0.2\cglib-full-2.0.2.jar

Is this something I should worry about or is it just an annoyance to live with for now? The resulting JAR artifact works well, maybe this is nothing to worry over, but I want to ask here in case there is something I can fix which will make these warning messages go away. I can't find anything about
this using Google, etc.

I ran into this with different variations of commons-logging. There's commons-logging (the full jar) and commons-logging-api (JDK14 logging only). But they contain some of the same classes even though they're different artifacts. Different dependencies were pulling in different versions of the same class.

In this case, I used a dependencyManagement section to exclude commons- logging-api. But this isn't a general solution. You might not be able to exclude the jar that contains duplicates.

That said, the warnings are ignorable.
