(Maven) Shading jar into plugin.

Hello, so I am trying to shade a utility library that is dependent on Bukkit into my Maven project. I have looked around on the Apache website, Stackoverflow and here on the Bukkit Forums for a solution, but couldn't find one.

As of now, I am only aware of how to shade plugins that have a repository, but as I don't own one I am unable to host it myself.

I have tried adding it as an external jar then adding the dependency in the pom.xml with the maven shade plugin after but I still get NoClassDefFoundErrors.

Code:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.elemental.utils</groupId>
            <artifactId>Util</artifactId>
            <version>LATEST</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>

Thank you

You need the maven-shade-plugin, not just the dependency. Can you show the entire POM?
