I'm trying to generate an uber jar in a multi module project with the maven-shade plugin with no success.
Versions: maven v3.9, maven-shade v3.0
The project looks as follow:
main
|- library
|- admin
|- ...
The sub module "admin" inherits (dependency) the sub module "library" and contains the maven-shade plugin definition. During the building process the plugin doesn't seem to find the POM of the local sub module "library".
Here are the poms
main pom.xml
<groupId>tapmeppe.server</groupId>
<artifactId>tapmeppe-server</artifactId>
<version>2017.1</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<modules>

<module>admin</module>
<module>core</module>
</modules>
...

Here is the output of the build

For some reason the plugin is looking for the dependency jar in the remote repository instead of using the sub module. What am I missing? Thanks for the help.
