I've noticed that when using CXF as a Maven dependency and aggregating it into an uber-Jar using the Maven Shade plugin there is an issue in that by default, the META-INF/cxf/bus-extensions.txt file (and other necessary CXF resources) aren't aggregated properly and loaded properly. They are kept in separate files. For examples of this, see:

  1. TIKA-1712 - ( )
  2. CXF-6545 - ( )

The fix is to use the Maven Shade Plugin's AppendingTransformer to combine all the copies of the bus-extensions.txt file present in the jars. See these examples here:

https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/cxf/osgi/bundle/all/pom.xml?r=12acd46e3dbe98fa1321374b09174d5876271f08#to448

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/resource-transformers.html#AppendingTransformer

You can handle it with the plugin configuration for the Shade plugin e.g., like this:
