--------------------------------------
Hit this issue.
Any plans to add this feature?
> Add ability for shade to find primary artifact from attached artifacts
> (similar to assembly-plugin)
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSHADE-154
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-154
> Project: Maven Shade Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Richard Sand
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: patch.txt, patch139and154.txt

>
> When switching from assembly-plugin to shade-plugin for a given project, I
> discovered that the shade plugin did not have the capability of using an
> attached artifact as the primary artifact - only the project's main artifact
> was supported.
> I've attached changes to add a configuration parameter
> "alternativeInputClassifier", which, when specified, tells the plugin to look
> for an artifact with the specified classifier in the project attachments, and
> to use that as the primary artifact. This makes shade behave similar to
> assembly-plugin, and allows shade to recognize attached artifacts generated
> by previous plugins in a maven execution.
> This was a trivial change, but required modifying several other classes and
> methods to accept the "primary" artifact as a parameter instead of a global
> variable. IMHO these changes are good for the plugin as a whole, as it will
> allow for future flexibility and logic for determining the entrypoint for the
> plugin (e.g. being able to run as a standalone goal with a specific artifact
> as input).
