             Summary: Store the list of included artifacts as metadata and support an additional exclusions property
                 Key: MSHADE-140
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHADE-140
             Project: Maven 2.x Shade Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Mikhail Bautin
            Priority: Minor


In our deployment scenario we have multiple shaded jars, and some "library" shaded jars are always on the classpath, so "application" shaded jars do not have to include any classes that are already included with the library shaded jars. It is possible to take advantage of this optimization with a custom Maven plugin that is executed in the "package" phase before maven-shade-plugin, but we need to add two hooks to the latter: 

(1) Store the set of artifacts included in a shaded jar inside that shaded jar.

(2) Allow specifying additional exclusions for maven-shade-plugin with a property.
