Description
**[Moritz W](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=enwi)** opened **[MSHADE-392](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-392?redirect=false)** and commented
Dependencies that are marked as optional should not be included in the shaded jar of a project/module except for the ones specifcially specified in the project (these, even if optional, should be included)
Example:
Project A:
```java
org.apache.poi
poi-ooxml
true
```
Project B:
```java
my.group,id
Project A
true
```
Now when shading Project B the dependency of Project A (poi) should not be included, but the depedency "Project A" should.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Project A and Project B dependency setup described in the issue and inspect how shading resolves optional dependencies. Done means Project A's optional dependency is excluded when shading Project B, while Project A itself remains included because it is directly specified there.
