How does Maven only package referenced classes?

Question

Maven 3.

2 modules: M1 and M2

There is a class in M2 named B.class which will reference A.class, A.class is in the first module M1. M1 has many classes, such as 100 classes as example.

When I execute command under M2, is it possible only package B.class and A.class to the jar rather than B.class and all classes in M1 ?

mvn clean package

The Maven shade plugin can build minimised jars only containing the classes you use.

should I exclude the classes in the config file ? could it exclude all the non-referenced classes automatically ? – user12736702 Nov 17 '20 at 12:59
`true` should be enough to do this automatically. – J Fabian Meier Nov 17 '20 at 13:34
