What is the best way to get the single jar and pom.xml from multiple maven modules?

[Bhavesh K Shah <Bh...@bitwiseglobal.com>]

Hi,

I have 4 maven modules A, B, C, D which are interdependent. The project D is dependent on C and C in turn is dependent on A & B. I have written pom.xml for all projects accordingly.

My end goal is to generate single jar out of this 4 modules and corresponding single pom.xml. The jar should contain java classes from only my module and not the classes from all their dependencies.

I was able to create the single jar using maven-shade plugin in project D's pom.xml. I used shadedGroupFilter tag to include the classes from just my modules. However, I was not able to create the correct pom.xml.

For generating single pom.xml I have tried using createDependencyReducedPom tag to generate a simplified POM for the shaded artifact but it contains the dependencies of just project D and not all the other projects viz. C, B, A.

What is the best way to get the correct single pom.xml?

I have posted this same question on stackoverflow<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33509980/what-is-the-best-way-to-get-the-single-jar-and-pom-xml-from-multiple-maven-modul>.

Add module E that generates the JAR and make module E's POM the JAR's POM.  If you want to remove some of the "development" items from the POM, see http://www.mojohaus.org/flatten-maven-plugin/flatten-mojo.html
