My pom.xml looks as follows:

```xml
  <!-- Use shade plugin for uber jar -->
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.2</version>
    <configuration>
    <filters>
     <filter>
       <artifact>maven-plugin-api</artifact>
       <includes>
         <include>org/apache/maven/**</include>
       </includes>
     </filter>
     </filters>
      <shadedArtifactAttached>false</shadedArtifactAttached>
      <transformers>
        <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
          <mainClass>com.abc.def.ver.main.Main</mainClass>
        </transformer>
      </transformers>
      <createDependencyReducedPom>false</createDependencyReducedPom>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <phase>package</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>shade</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

```

But when my jar is created I get the following error while running main:

```

```

I also have dependency as

```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-plugin-api</artifactId>
  <version>3.2.5</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

```

in my pom.

1. How does it work? I don't have `maven-plugin-api` in my local repository. Is it taking it from my Maven (application) lib folder to run it because normally it runs perfectly. And if it is taking from my maven folder I have maven-3.3.1 and the specified version is 3.2.5.
2. How can I make it work?
