Maven Shading third party libraries

Hey guys! I have been loading third party libraries using this method and thus far it as worked. It is a pretty ugly way of doing it, so I was wondering if anyone could write up a quick tutorial on how to use the Maven Shade plugin to compile third party libraries into your jar.

If you need an example library, I am using C3P0.

Edit: Hate to do this, but I know md_5 knows how.

 

a late reply but dark navi i would also like this

 

I figured it out a while ago, so here is how I get it to work:
In your pom.xml, add this to your <plugins> tag:

PHP:

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.1</version>
        <configuration>
          <!-- put your configurations here -->
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>shade</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

And then change any scopes of any dependencies that you want to get shaded to 'compile' like so:

PHP:

<dependency>
      <groupId>c3p0</groupId>
      <artifactId>c3p0</artifactId>
      <version>0.9.1.2</version>
      <type>jar</type>
      <scope>compile</scope>
    </dependency>
