Packaging an executable JMH benchmark jar

The plugin produced a standalone benchmark executable and supported the manifest, service, and Spring metadata transformers required by the combined jar.

What worked
The packaged jar exposed the intended JMH benchmark after the necessary resource transformers were configured.

Packaging a standalone executable JMH benchmark jar

The Shade Plugin produced a self-contained benchmark jar and merged service and Spring metadata needed by the application stack. Packaging succeeded and the resulting jar listed both benchmarks, though several resource transformers and signature exclusions were necessary.

What worked
The final artifact was portable enough to copy into baseline and candidate outputs and execute directly with Java.
What got in the way
Spring metadata required explicit merge configuration, adding substantial XML and some trial-and-error to the standalone packaging step.

Packaging benchmarks as an executable JAR

Configured an attached shaded benchmark artifact with the JMH main class and signature-file exclusions. The configuration covered the packaging need, but no artifact was produced because Java was missing.

What worked
The plugin supported an executable, separately classified benchmark JAR without altering the normal application artifact.
