When a dependency is excluded, it is removed from the dependency tree at that point. You can check this with mvn dependency:tree. It might still come in through other ways (e.g. as transitive dependency of some other dependency). You can check that with mvn dependency:list.

So, if its not coming via any other ways, pertaining .class should never be in the packaged jar? – Madhav Kumar Jha Dec 10 '19 at 11:01

1The classes of an excluded dependency are not present in the fat jar (unless they come through some other way). – J Fabian Meier Dec 10 '19 at 12:07
