Michael Osipov commented on MSHADE-313: --------------------------------------- I don't understand what is actually broken here. > Less agressive <minimizeJar> > ---------------------------- > > Key: MSHADE-313 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-313 > Project: Maven Shade Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.2.1 > Reporter: Markus Karg > Priority: Major > > The maven shade plugin already does a great job in minimizing JAR size. For > the majority of applications this is exactly what is needed. > On the other hand there are some application areas where the algorithm is too > agressive. One particular and rather frequently found case is the services > API: ServiceLoader will ceise to work for minimized JARs since it is the > prototype of the biggest "minimize-JAR-antipattern": String-to-class > conversion. > To make <minimizeJar> usable in such scenarios, there should be a set of > options to enable the usual suspetcs (like ServiceLoader) to be detected. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
