Hi, I created an issue and put together a pull request that adds a 'clean' mojo to the maven-shade-plugin. The purpose is to remove the dependency-reduced-pom.xml (and variants) that are in general generated but never removed.
By adding support for the clean phase it is now easier to keep a project clean. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-437 https://github.com/apache/maven-shade-plugin/pull/174 I would like to hear your feedback on this idea/proposal. -- Best regards / Met vriendelijke groeten, Niels Basjes
