Attaching the Shaded Artifact

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:

  1. <project>
  2.   ...
  3.   <build>
  4.     <plugins>
  5.       <plugin>
  6.         <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  7.         <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
  8.         <version>3.0.0</version>
  9.         <executions>
  10.           <execution>
  11.             <phase>package</phase>
  12.             <goals>
  13.               <goal>shade</goal>
  14.             </goals>
  15.             <configuration>
  16.               <shadedArtifactAttached>true</shadedArtifactAttached>
  17.               <shadedClassifierName>jackofall</shadedClassifierName> <!-- Any name that makes sense -->
  18.             </configuration>
  19.           </execution>
  20.         </executions>
  21.       </plugin>
  22.     </plugins>
  23.   </build>
  24.   ...
  25. </project>

The shaded artifact is distinguished from the main artifact by means of the additional classifier.
