By default, the plugin will replace the project's main artifact with the shaded artifact. If both the original and the shaded artifact should be installed/deployed to the repository, one can configure the plugin to attach the shaded artifact as a secondary artifact:
<project> ... <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.7.1</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>shade</goal> </goals> <configuration> <shadedArtifactAttached>true</shadedArtifactAttached> <shadedClassifierName>jackofall</shadedClassifierName> <!-- Any name that makes sense --> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> ... </project>
The shaded artifact is distinguished from the main artifact by means of the additional classifier.
