Maven Shading Error: Access is Denied
access-denied, eclipse, java, maven
Solution
You can face this error, if you're compiling from Eclipse with m2e plugin.
The workaround is to uncheck `Resolve Workspace artifacts` in the Maven Run Configuration.
Problem
Now, I have already seen this question, however it doesn't appear anything is using my target folder. What's going on, is when I compile it fails and shows me this error: ``` [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:2.3:shade (default) on project FooProject: Error creating shaded jar: Failed to analyze class dependencies: C:\Users\paul_000\Documents\FooCore\target\classes (Access is denied) -> [Help 1] ``` I'm not quite sure exactly why this happens, as it doesn't happen on my normal computer. EDIT: I forgot to mention, the jar I am shading does not exist on a repository. I just compile it locally (clean install). As well, here's what I use to shade: ``` <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.3</version> <configuration> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>shade</goal> </goals> <configuration> <minimizeJar>true</minimizeJar> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> ```
