[MSHADE-231] Multiple shade artifacts + reduced pom from the same artifact

Hi guys,

in tomee we create several flavors of tomee-embedded from tomee-embedded module.

We basically deploy:

- tomee-embedded normal jar
- tomee-embedded "uber" shade
- tomee-embedded "jaxws" shade
- tomee-embedded "jaxrs" shade

We would add few more flavors if we can solve this issue: we can't get reduced pom and attach it to let our users depend on the reduced pom.

Best would be to:

1- have the reduced pom created in target/
2- attach it to deploy it with another artifact (to avoid pom conflicts)

is that something mvn-shade could do?

Here is the pom: https://github.com/apache/tomee/blob/master/tomee/tomee-embedded/pom.xml#L55

Side note: the obvious fix it to define 1 pom by shade but it would make the maintenance harder for us and create inconsistencies long term.

Start with the Maven configuration linked in the issue, especially the tomee-embedded shade executions, then trace how the plugin handles shaded artifacts and reduced POM generation. Determine whether a reduced POM can be written to target/ and attached under another artifact without POM conflicts; done means the behavior is implemented and covered by relevant plugin tests.
