How do I embed artifact information in maven shaded jar

Question

I would like to document in the shaded jar what maven artifacts actually end up in that shaded jar. All the packages get merged and that makes it difficult to workout exactly what artifacts went into it just by looking at the jar. I suppose the ideal place for that information would be the manifest file but it could just be in a text file. Ideally I want to see groupId, artifactId and version. Is this at all possible with the maven shade plugin? Thanks in advance, Phil.

You can do this with maven, below steps to follow: 1- Create under src/main/resources a file wich will contain the information, information.txt for example with the following content: version=${project.version} artifactId=${project.artifactId} groupId=${project.groupId} 2- Activate Maven filtring ... ... src/main/resources true **/information.txt ... ... ... 3- Build your project. The file will contain now the information you need. More information about the plugin.
