Description

**[sam rash](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=rash37)** opened **[MSHADE-234](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-234?redirect=false)** and commented

Java 9 will begin in including the module-info.class file which has the packages that are exported. It would be great if the shade plugin can detect the new format, and for any packages that are moved, it updates the module exports accordingly
