Maven Shade Plugin not including resources of dependency

Question

I'm using the Maven Shade Plugin to include all dependencies during package phase. That works fine for classes, but dependent resources aren't included.

Here's the layout of the dependent jar:

./config.properties <-- this is the missing resource
./META-INF
./META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
./META-INF/maven
./META-INF/maven/com.example
./META-INF/maven/com.example/bar
./META-INF/maven/com.example/bar/pom.properties
./META-INF/maven/com.example/bar/pom.xml

Here's the shade plugin configuration:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.6</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>shade</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <transformers>
            <transformer
              implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
              <manifestEntries>
                <Main-Class>com.example.foo.Foo</Main-Class>
                <!-- <X-Compile-Source-JDK>${maven.compile.source}</X-Compile-Source-JDK>.
                  <X-Compile-Target-JDK>${maven.compile.target}</X-Compile-Target-JDK> -->
              </manifestEntries>
            </transformer>
          </transformers>
          <filters>
            <filter>
              <!--
                Exclude files that sign a jar
                (one or multiple of the dependencies).
                One may not repack a signed jar without
                this, or you will get a
                SecurityException at program start.
              -->
              <artifact>*:*</artifact>
              <excludes>
                <exclude>META-INF/*.SF</exclude>
                <exclude>META-INF/*.RSA</exclude>
                <exclude>META-INF/*.INF</exclude> <!-- This one may not be required -->
              </excludes>
            </filter>
          </filters>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

Have you tried with the up-to-date version of [maven-shade-plugin](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/) and without any configuration. — khmarbaise, May 14 '13 at 06:46
I have tested this with a simple multi module project and with version 1.6 and 2.0 of the shade plugin my property files are copied. Could you try to add junit:junit:4.11 (compile scope) as dependency and see if the Licence.txt is copied? If its still not work could you please add your project layout and the complete pom. Thx. — mszalbach, May 14 '13 at 07:02
It's quite embarrasing, but there was a typo in the version of the dependency and that version didn't have that file :-/ Should I delete this question? — lilalinux, May 14 '13 at 10:35
