How can I include shaded POM of a library/sdk in my application’s pom.xml?

I have a library/sdk in which I created a shaded pom java-sdk-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-shaded.pom using maven shade plugin . which contains all jars and classes which are used as dependencies . Now I want to integrate this in my sample application so that I can use it as an external library. I have copied it to my applications target folder and tried to run mvn clean install. But its not working.

Answer

Basically I made a seperated module where I used all other modules as dependency . After this I exported this to my client app where I was able to access all other modules also as they were compiled in a single jar file .

PS: I was able to do it without using fat Jar 😉
