[jira] (MSHADE-97) Add the ability to specify "entry points" for minimizeJar

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHADE-97?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=323561#comment-323561 ] 

Dmitry Katsubo commented on MSHADE-97:
--------------------------------------

I would like to vote for this feature. There are many minimizers, but not many are present as maven plugin, and not many are easy to configure. Few lines of code which bring a big benefit ? I think it's worth.

> Currently, the "minimizeJar" option assumes that you want to include all classes in the current project and those that they depend on.  Sometimes, classes are accessed via reflection, or some other means, and therefore don't get included.  The ability to specify additional entry points (as classes) to this dependency tree would be useful.
> I have added this as a patch that I am attaching.
