On each site I can only find examples where the Dropwizard project is built using Shade pluign. Is there a way to create a Dropwizard project without a shadow plugin. If yes, please provide an example pom.xml.
If you don't include the shadow plugin in your pom, Dropwizard will build correctly and Maven will provide you with a jar containing all of your project files, but not one of your dependencies.
