Darran Lofthouse commented on ELY-1971:
---------------------------------------

The wildfly-elytron artefact is really only an intermediate artefact kept around for backwards compatibility as the project was split into individual modules but we kept the original artefact around for situations that already depended upon it.

If anything which is not a part of the Elytron project is shaded into the jar then that is in general a bug as it's only intent was to aggregate the WildFly Elytron classes into a single jar.

We probably should also look at the exclusions as this artefact should not need the Elytron artefacts a second time but I also expect this artefact to have a limited life and be removed in the next major version.  Instead of shaded jars we probably should instead be looking at a small set of boms for some of the most common use cases.

> Wildfly-elytron jar is shaded with all wildfly elytron modules + jboss-logging, but it keeps the shaded classes in jar in its dependency chain which makes duplicated classes in dependency tree when using the wildfly-elytron in maven project.
> Avoiding duplicates would effectively need to add exclusion dependency to wildfly-elytron like:
> {noformat}
> <dependency>
>     <groupId>org.wildlfy.security</groupId>
>     <artifactId>wildfly-elytron</artifactId>
>     <version>some-version</version>
>     <exclusions>
>         <exclusion>
>             <groupId>*</groupId>
>             <artifactId>*</artifactId>
>         </exclusion>
>     </exclusions>
> </dependency>
> {noformat}
