• JavaFX Window Icon Not Stacking in Taskbar
  1 project | /r/javahelp | 5 Dec 2023

  So: I am making a JavaFX application to act as a remote console for my server. I'm the only person that will have a copy of it, so it doesn't need to be snazzy or 100% efficient. I have turned the project into a jar via ShadowJar, turned that into an EXE via Launch4j, and yesterday turned that into an installer via Inno.

  I’ve never tried this and I I’m not libgdx expert, but you can try running a Uber jar with shadow. it’s the Gradle equivalent of the shade plug-in for maven builds.

• How to avoid having Java w/Maven pick the wrong dependencies
  1 project | /r/javahelp | 22 Oct 2022

  When you get into a situation where you need to sandbox a dependency within another, including this example, where you want each of your dependencies to get its own unique instance of their dependency, you can "shadow" the dependency that is to be sandboxed this way.

  Note: **According to Serverless documentation you can use the command **serverless deploy -v. However, with Java-based-projects that’s not true because it needs to create a Fatjar with all the needed requirements (so the command will fail). By default, Serverless will set **shadow** as a dependency in the gradle file for those purposes. The deploy command will generate a build file called -all.jar that is the one that’s going to be uploaded to the AWS Lambda function.

• Apache Spark, Hive, and Spring Boot — Testing Guide

  The result .jar is going to submitted to Apache Spark cluster (e.g. spark-submit command). So, it should contain all runtime artefacts. Unfortunately, the standard Spring Boot packaging does not put the dependencies in the way Apache Spark expects it. So, we'll use shadow-jar Gradle plugin. Take a look at the example below.

• How do you cope with the monstrosity that is Gradle?
  3 projects | /r/Kotlin | 1 Apr 2022

  I've writen many Kotlin+Gradle projects that produce jars without the shadow plugin. They're not fat, shaded, standalone executable jars though - is that what you need?
