[ANN] Apache Maven Shade Plugin 3.1.0 Released

[Robert Scholte <rf...@apache.org>]

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache  
Maven Shade Plugin, version 3.1.0

This plugin provides the capability to package the artifact in an  
uber-jar, including its dependencies and to shade - i.e. rename - the  
packages of some of the dependencies.

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
   <version>3.1.0</version>
</plugin>

You can download the appropriate sources etc. from the download page:

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/download.cgi

Note: This is a Java 9 support release. Be aware when using this on jars  
with module descriptors; it's intended strong encapsulation (i.e. not  
exported packages) will be lost. This is actually a JVM issue which is  
hopefully resolved in a future version of Java.

** Bug
     * [MSHADE-242] - Plugin does not work with Java 9
     * [MSHADE-247] - NullpointerException when createSourcesJar = true and  
source jar cannot be found

Enjoy,

-The Apache Maven team
