The following section shows the configuration for the shade plugin in my pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactSet>
<excludes>
<exclude>META-INF/*.SF</exclude>
<exclude>META-INF/*.DSA</exclude>
<exclude>META-INF/*.RSA</exclude>
<exclude>META-INF/ECLIPSE*</exclude>
</excludes>
</artifactSet>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
However some files that were (it seems??) excluded were sneaking into the output jar file:
02:19:43/xt $jar -tvf target/ignitedemo-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar | grep META | egrep "RSA|DSA|SF"
9958 Sun Jul 05 02:19:26 PDT 2015 META-INF/ECLIPSEF.SF
5639 Sun Jul 05 02:19:26 PDT 2015 META-INF/ECLIPSEF.RSA
So then what is incorrect in the shade plugin configuration?
