# Shadow

Gradle plugin for creating fat/uber JARs with support for package relocation.

> [!NOTE]\

> Previously this plugin was developed by [@johnrengelman](https://github.com/johnrengelman) and published under the ID [`com.github.johnrengelman.shadow`](https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.github.johnrengelman.shadow)

> before maintenance was transferred to the [GradleUp organization](https://github.com/GradleUp) to ensure future development, see [#908](https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow/issues/908).

>

> If you are still using the old plugin ID in your build script, we recommend to switch to the new plugin ID [`com.gradleup.shadow`](https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/com.gradleup.shadow)

> and update to the latest version to receive all the latest bug fixes and improvements.
