I have a multi modules maven project

abc
  +-- child1
  +-- child2
  +-- child3
  +-- distribution

So my final jar will look like 

META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
com/
com/myapp/
com/myapp/service/
com/myapp/service/
com/myapp/service/ServiceFactory.class
com/myapp/service/Counter.class
META-INF/maven/
META-INF/maven/com.myapp/
META-INF/maven/com.myapp/abc/
META-INF/maven/com.myapp/abc/pom.xml
META-INF/maven/com.myapp/abc/pom.properties

child1 pom.xml

                        </configuration>
                    </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>
        </project>

abc pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

    <packaging>pom</packaging>

    <modules>
        <module>child1</module>
        <module>distribution</module>
    </modules>
</project>

At the moment the slf4j is inside the final jar and I would like to create a jar which contains child1 and child2, but not contains slf4j which is dependency of child1. Can someone point me to the right direction?

  • you can specify the `scope` of the dependency.. see: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26975818/what-is-scope-under-dependency-in-pom-xml-for – Kenneth Clark Dec 06 '17 at 06:03
  • Or, if you use `maven-assembly-plugin`, you can try [custom assembly](https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-assemblies.html) – Kirill Simonov Dec 06 '17 at 06:27
