Question

Till now I was using maven assembly plugin to generate two JARs for each artifact - compiled sources and dependencies - the reason for this was simple - deploying only the c

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

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>shade-libs</id>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>shade</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <outputFile>target/assembly/${project.artifactId}-libs.jar</outputFile>
          <artifactSet>
            <excludes>
              <exclude>...</exclude>
            </excludes>
          </artifactSet>
          <transformers>
            <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
              <resource>META-INF/spring.handlers</resource>
            </transformer>
            <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
              <resource>META-INF/spring.schemas</resource>
            </transformer>
          </transformers>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
      <execution>
        <id>shade-main</id>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>shade</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <outputFile>target/assembly/${project.artifactId}.jar</outputFile>
          <artifactSet>
            <includes>
              <include>...</include>
            </includes>
          </artifactSet>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>
</plugins>
