proguard-maven-plugin | ProGuard Maven plugin that supports modularised ProGuard | Plugin library

I am trying to obfuscate a jar-with-dependencies (although the same problem affects if I set as inFile the regular single jar).

I am using Java 8, but I have to use newer versions of Proguard and Proguard Maven Plugin, due to coverage of some jar dependencies that are from a higher version (otherwise I get an "Unsupported major-minor version" problem).

When executing "mvn clean install" the step is executed but I get a "proguard jar not found in pluginArtifacts error". See log below.

I have seen in Proguard Maven Plugin code that now you need (from 7.0.0) both proguard-base and proguard-core from com.guardsquare instead of the outdated previous version in net.sf.proguard - this one is not prepared for later jars.

Apparently the proguard jar is not found where I am specifying it - how should I include this dependency?

I am using this in my pom:

I want to use proguard with a javafx application with some custom controls.

I am using the Maven Assembly Plugin to extract my project into a jar file. And as a result, the extracted jar file is getting "jar-with-dependencies" appended to its name.

However, this should not be a problem for the proguard plugin since I can specify the name of the jar in its injar element like this: ${project.build.finalName}-jar-with-dependencies.jar

But for some reason, as it can be seen on the error message, it is never able to locate the jar because it is looking for its original name, not the one with "-jar-with-dependencies" when I compile it with this command: mvn clean compile assembly:single proguard:proguard

Error Message

I'm extracting JPA entities into a separate Fat/Uber jar for external system to use. ProGuard is used through com.github.wvengen:proguard-maven-plugin to shrink all other unused code. I want to keep all methods in JPA entities except ones annotated by @javax.persistence.Transient annotation. I've found "!transient" for field modifiers in ProGuard rules, but seems that !@javax.persistence.Transient for methods does not work :( Can I reach the same effect somehow for methods by other way ?

I am building a desktop application. I am using ProGuard with the following config:

I wrote the required maven dependencies in maven's pom.xml, and now I add proguard-maven-plugin to obfuscate the code, and hope not to obfuscate the dependencies written in pom.xml

The project depends on a lot of maven jars. Is there a configuration method to directly filter all maven jars?

How do I modify pom.xml or proguard.cfg?

I am using proguard-maven-plugin in my multi-module maven project with spring boot. By no means, I am not an expert and still learning how to make use of all features provided with ProGuard, so bear with me. ProGuard dependency:
