Shade Example [was Re: What's the deal with the shade plugin?]

[Dan Diephouse <da...@envoisolutions.com>]

Sorry for the late reply, Maven traffic is a bit to much for me. I did want
to chime in though that I think the CXF build gives a real good example of
how to use the Shade plugin:

http://fisheye6.cenqua.com/browse/celtixfire/trunk/distribution/bundle/pom.xml?r=HEAD

I also wrote a custom transformer for CXF which merges various Spring.xmlfiles:

http://fisheye6.cenqua.com/browse/celtixfire/branches/headerwork/buildtools/src/main/java/org/apache/cxf/maven/PluginTransformer.java?r=HEAD

I realize its no substitute for documentation, but its better than
nothing... :-)
