Obfuscate Java Jar with dependencies using Maven Proguard Plugin

1

I started from the most simple Java Maven generated project and added a class that should be obfuscated
There is no obfuscation after
mvn clean install
I attached an archive with the whole Maven / Intellij project
Google Drive zip with Hello World project

the pom looks like that

  <plugins>
<plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>

Hi Dorin, Would you mind replacing the Google Drive Zip with a Github project link? For security reasons we don’t encourage non-Github links for downloading on the forums.

We appreciate your understanding, and looking forward to helping you out with this question!
