Maven - JAR generation includes various unneeded deps

[BlackDark]

Currently the maven goal for packaging a JAR file includes all available dependencies. This includes for example:

• spring (springframework, spring boot, etc)
• tomcat
• other http related packages

This is related to the start of the project in which i developed only the JAR archive. At this time we didn't have the focus on the WAR archive and server related stuff.

Possible solution: Include the maven shade plugin to remove unwanted deps for JAR execution with filter rules.

When I run "mvn clean compile package", the generated jar is only 143K and doesn't include any spring/tomcat related package.

May I ask how you get the JAR including those?

Check the README:

To build a jar file that can be executed standalone, you have to use the package option with parameter: mvn package -Denv=standalone or mvn package -P standalone-release

Thanks! Sorry, I didn't notice that it had been in the Instruction file.
