Description

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

Robert Burrell Donkin added a comment -

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.
