[MSHADE-217] Shaded sources out of sync with shaded jar.

**[Zoltan Farkas](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=zolyfarkas)** opened **[MSHADE-217](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSHADE-217?redirect=false)** and commented

I am using the maven shade plugin to patch open source libraries. (fix bugs...)

this is the configuration I use:

```

org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-shade-plugin
2.4.3


package

shade




${project.groupId}:${project.artifactId}:${original.version}


true
true
true




```

The java classes I have in my project, are correctly included in the shaded jar and overwrite the dependency classes, however the source artifact generated by the shade plugin does not include the sources from my project.

Can this be improved so that source and class behaviour is consistent?
is there a workarround?

Reproduce the issue using the Maven Shade Plugin 2.4.3 configuration shown, especially createSourcesJar and shadeSourcesContent, and compare the generated shaded jar with its source artifact. Trace the source-shading behavior and determine what would make project sources appear consistently; done means the source artifact reflects the classes included in the shaded jar.
