minimizeJar too aggressive

[RefuX]

Affected version

3.6.0

Bug description

I'm shading the com.fasterxml.woodstox:woodstox-core:7.0.0 library.

META-INF/services/javax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory:
my.shaded.wstx.stax.WstxEventFactory

META-INF/services/javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory:
my.shaded.wstx.stax.WstxInputFactory

META-INF/services/javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory:
my.shaded.wstx.stax.WstxOutputFactory

With minimizeJar set to true, even though we have the above references to these Factory classes. The Factory classes are minimized out.

For now my work-around is to create a static reference to the Factories 😭

Are you using them in an unused class or function?

[RefuX]

They are only referenced in the XMLFactory in Meta-INF, which is not "registered " as there are getting removed.

when using this option this is delegated to this https://github.com/tcurdt/jdependency
so you might need to create issues there.
