In every site I can find only examples, where Dropwizard project is built using Shade pluign Is there any way to build Dropwizard project without shade plugin. If so please provide some sample pom.xml.

Answer 1

If you don't include the shade plugin in your pom, Dropwizard will build correctly and Maven will give you a jar containing all of your project files but none of your dependencies.
