Maven
Shade
Plugin
is
a
plugin
used
in
Apache
Maven
to
create
an
"uberJAR"
or
"shaded
JAR"
that
contains
all
the
dependencies
required
for
an
application
to
run,
packaged
into
a
single
JAR
file.This
is
particularly
useful
when
deploying
applications
to
a
distributed
environment,
such
as
a
Spark
cluster,
where
the
application
needs
to
be
selfcontained
and
all
its
dependencies
need
to
be
bundled
together.
Here's
a
basic
configuration
for
the
Maven
Shade
Plugin
in
your
project's
`pom.xml`
file:
```xml
implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
```
In
this
configuration:
`
specifies
the
group
ID
of
the
plugin.
`
is
the
artifact
ID
of
the
plugin.
`
should
be
updated
to
the
latest
version
of
the
plugin
available.
`
element
defines
when
and
how
the
plugin
should
be
executed.
`
specifies
that
the
plugin
should
be
executed
during
the
packaging
phase
of
the
Maven
build
lifecycle.
`
declares
the
goal
to
create
a
shaded
JAR.
`
contains
the
settings
for
the
shade
goal.
`
are
used
to
specify
any
transformers
that
should
be
applied
to
the
shaded
JAR.
` implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">` is an example transformer that adds a manifest file to the JAR with the main class specified. ` should be replaced with the fully qualified name of the class containing the `main` method that should be used to execute your application. This basic configuration will create a shaded JAR file when you run the `mvn package` command, which will contain all the dependencies required to run your application. If you need to exclude certain dependencies from being included in the shaded JAR, you can use the ` element under ` example: ```xml ...> ``` You can add multiple ` elements if you need to exclude more than one dependency. For more advanced configurations, such as customizing the shaded JAR's output name or relocating classes, refer to the official Maven Shade Plugin documentation: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/mavenshadeplugin/index.html
