# Apache Flink Shaded Dependencies

This repository contains a number of shaded dependencies for the [Apache Flink](https://flink.apache.org/) project.

The purpose of these dependencies is to provide a single instance of a shaded dependency in the Flink distribution, instead of each individual module shading the dependency.

Shaded dependencies contained here do not expose any transitive dependencies. They may or may not be self-contained.

When using these dependencies it is recommended to work directly against the shaded namespaces.

## Sources

We currently do not release jars containing the shaded sources due to the unanswered legal questions raised [here](https://github.com/apache/flink-shaded/issues/25).

However, it is possible to build these jars locally by cloning the repository and calling `mvn package -Dshade-sources`.

## About

Apache Flink is an open source project of [The Apache Software Foundation](https://apache.org/) (ASF).
