>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-287
>             Project: Maven Shade Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Jürgen Weber
>            Priority: Major

> Shade Plugin should be able to honor classpath order semantics: -cp a.jar:b.jar has the effect that resources in b.jar are not visible if also in a.jar
> It should be possible to have the same effect with Shade Plugin: iterate for last to first in classpath: extract current element overwriting content of previous extracted.
> use case:
> running an app with Maven has a defined classpath order, whereas the order of jars in WEB-INF/lib is rather random. So you could build an ueber jar containing all jars of lib which would result in the desired class order.
> This is currently not possible with org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.ShadeRequest as the input jars are in a java.util.Set which has no order.
