[jira] Commented: (MSHADE-87) Shade with respect of packaging-type

["Robert Burrell Donkin (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHADE-87?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=272193#comment-272193 ] 

Robert Burrell Donkin commented on MSHADE-87:
---------------------------------------------

Switching to commons-compress would allow shade to be applied to a variety of output formats. Given the ability to declare a structure (as suggested in this issue) this would make shade a powerful tool for application assembly.

I would therefore favour a more general approach to the problem of structure, perhaps with convenience shortcuts for common formats. Not sure about the best way to describe it, though.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Shade Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.4

> The current version of the maven-shade-plugin only support jar and equal structured packaging types, but it would be great if it could shade war-files as well.
> At least the following should be changed:
> * shaded classes shouldn't be placed in the root, but in WEB-INF/classes
> * shaded artifacts should be removed from WEB-INF/lib
