[jira] (MSHADE-78) Possibility to rename classes, e.g. to define a name prefix, to avoid classes with same names

Matt Benson commented on MSHADE-78:
-----------------------------------

Note that you _can_ rename classes, if a bit clumsily, by specifying e.g.:
{code}
<relocation>
  <pattern>com.example.foo.</pattern>
  <shadedPattern>com.uber._foo.__</shadedPattern>
</relocation>
{code}

I do agree that there should be some mechanism for smarter relocations. It's very likely that someone well-versed in the art of Maven plugin configuration customization could figure out a way to direct the {{ShadeMojo}} to, e.g., use a custom {{Relocator}} implementation specified by the user.

> It would be nice if there was an option to, next to relocating the classes, also rename them, for example by giving them a certain prefix.
> Suppose you bundle a third-party lib in your own lib. Suppose a project uses your lib and also uses the third-party lib. If you then start looking up classes in your IDE, 2 classes with the same name (but different package) will pop-up. 
> Renaming them would avoid this.
