Maven shade plugin failed to execute goal?

You can now use the latest release maven-shade-plugin:3.2.0 as of 13.09.2018 which shall solve the error while using minimizeJar (with JDK8+) :

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.2.0</version>
</plugin>

As said in the edit, setting minimizeJar to false solves my problem.
