Hi everyone,
I have a KMM project with two modules: `shared` and `payment`.

I want to publish only the `shared` module as a Maven artifact and have the `payments` module included inside it so that when my consumer adds the `shared` dependency, `payments` is available too.
Currently, `shared` depends on `payments` via `implementation(project(":shared:payments"))` in `commonMain`. When I publish just `shared` and use it in my consumer app, I get errors like:

```Could not find ProjectName.shared:payments:unspecified.```
is there a way to package `payments` inside `shared`, so only one artifact needs to be published?

It is called shading and you can use shadow: <https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow|https://github.com/GradleUp/shadow>

But why do you want to shade it anyway? Maven/Gradle downloads the payment artifact automatically. 

Thanks for the suggestion. The reason I’m looking to bundle `payments` inside `shared` is because `payments` is an internal module. I don’t want to publish it separately as a standalone artifact.
