After some time I found the issue - it was the aether incompatbility. ShrinkWrap required 1.8, but I had 1.13.1. The content type was changed from enhanced to default in newer versions. I patched shrinkwrap to reflect this: https://github.com/shrinkwrap/resolver/blob/1.0.0-beta-7/impl-maven/src/main/java/org/jboss/shrinkwrap/resolver/impl/maven/MavenManagerBuilder.java#L47
