[MSHADE-160] change default location of dependency-reduced-pom.xml

[jira-importer]

Gabriele Catania opened MSHADE-160 and commented

The current defaults of the plugin place the dependency reduced pom alongside the pom.xml as a sibling file.

Given that it's a generated file, wouldn't it be best to place it by default inside the target directory?

either something like this:

<dependencyReducedPomLocation>${project.build.directory}/dependency-reduced-pom.xml</dependencyReducedPomLocation>

or, even better (to conform with conventions from other plugins):

<dependencyReducedPomLocation>${project.build.directory}/generated/shade/dependency-reduced-pom.xml</dependencyReducedPomLocation>

Ideally the MavenProject should also be updated with respect to the new pom. For a long time the basedir was set to the directory of the pom-file. Since Maven 3.2.4 there's a method called setPomFile which only changes the pomFile and not the basedir, which is probably required in this case.

as Robert Scholte suggest, a new pr can solve MSHADE-124, then this issue can be solved finally
