Instead of defining the plugin twice, simply define it once but with two execution sections. So in your situation it would be:

  
    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-shade-plugin
    
      
        shade-libs
        package
        
          shade
        
        
          target/assembly/${project.artifactId}-libs.jar
          
            
              ...
            
          
          
            
              META-INF/spring.handlers
            
            
              META-INF/spring.schemas
            
          
        
      
      
        shade-main
        package
        
          shade
        
        
          target/assembly/${project.artifactId}.jar
          
            
              ...
