Description

The dat format used by the plugin is not that friendly when users want to shade log4j2 and manual manipulation is hard and require some advanced shade ability (concretely you need to write your own PluginCache serialization if you select a subpart of log4j2 to go in your shade)

Would be great to provide an easier and smoother way to do that.
