Maven artifact for this project is a shaded jar, which breaks modules

[marinier]

The maven artifact deployed publicly is an shaded jar, which means it includes its dependencies directly in the jar as opposed to letting maven include them as dependencies. In Java 9+ projects that also include one of those dependencies, this causes a compilation error because the packages for those dependencies are available from two different modules -- yours and the actual dependency.

E.g., my project depends on both glisten-afterburner (which depends on this project) and indriya. Both depend on javax.inject, but because this project puts the package and classes for javax.inject directly into the jar, we run into this issue (this from a java 17 compile):

[ERROR] path/to/src/main/java/module-info.java: [1,1] module my.project.module reads package javax.inject from both javax.inject and afterburner.mfx

That is, split packages are no longer allowed.

Please deploy a version of this project's maven artifact that isn't a shaded jar!

Is javax.inject in your module-info.java?

[marinier]

No, should it be?

@marinier Maybe you could give our fork at https://github.com/JabRef/afterburner.fx a try. It is published to maven central at https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jabref/afterburner.fx.

Unfortunately, the version I actually need is afterburner.mfx. If you post a version of that, I'll give it a try.
