             Summary: Suppress warning output
                 Key: MSHADE-176
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHADE-176
             Project: Maven Shade Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Taylor Jones
         Attachments: suppressWarnings_option.patch

The warnings Shade outputs are useful, but there are some cases where nothing 
can actually be done about them. Recently, I encountered this with the Neo4j 
libraries; there is one overlapping class between two critical JARs (kernel and 
rest), and no way to resolve this via exclusions. 

In these cases, everything works just fine. At best, the warnings are just 
noise, but we also have some build processes in place that will fail on Maven 
warnings. I figured this would be a pretty simple thing to just suppress, but 
Shade doesn't seem to have a way to do this.

I've included a simple patchset to address.this which adds a new option to the 
configuration called `<suppressWarnings>`. There isn't a unit test attached, 
unfortunately. I'm not quite sure how to unit test logging output in this 
fashion without something akin to Mockito. I figured you guys wouldn't 
appreciate me adding dependencies out of the blue but if a unit test is 
required, I can give it a shot.
