Description

Right now we are using property replacement to generate the shaded binaries for each profile.
While this (mostly) works, it is considered illegal/unsupported by maven, and has limitations.

Duplicating the modules instead of using property replacement would have some adavntages and disadvantages:

+ Maven does not spew warnings
+ Probably more stable long term across maven versions
+ Can differentiate name/description of artifacts
+ Can build all binaries for release in one pass

• Lots of new modules to maintain (pom only)
• More opportunity for the modules to get out of sync
