Robert Stupp commented on MSHADE-413: ------------------------------------- But... even with {{promoteTransitiveDependencies==true}}, the shade plugin can still loop forever rewriting the {{dependency-reduced-pom.xml}} file. So there is also something else at play in the maven-shade-plugin. > Maven share plugin enters endless loop > --------------------------------------- > > Key: MSHADE-413 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-413 > Project: Maven Shade Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.2.4 > Reporter: Robert Stupp > Priority: Critical > > {{ShadeMojo.createDependencyReducedPom()}} pulls in {{origDeps = > project.getDependencies()}} and later modifies these {{Dependency}} objects. > This leads to a > [reproducible|https://github.com/projectnessie/nessie/issues/3678] endless > loop (see below). > If the Shade plugin's not using the {{Dependency}} objects "owned by Maven > itself" (by setting {{promoteTransitiveDependencies}} to {{true}}), the build > passes fine. > I think, _modifying_ the {{Dependency}} objects "owned by Maven itself" is > bad for two reasons (which IMO justify the increased priority of this > ticket): > # the reproducible endless loop > # it breaks the correctness of the project build - at least plugins running > after the {{shade}} goal that use those dependencies. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
