How do I tell maven to include my dependency jars in my final jar file?
I am referencing
,
but none of the scopes described seems to do that.
Thanks,
Alex.

- I just realised something - maybe what I'm trying to do is wrong
here do I really want an ear file instead?

Depends entirely on what you're building

Do you want an EAR (for J2EE app) or a JAR (for various other types of apps)?

Looking at it now, I think what I want is a JAR not an EAR. I have a stand
alone app that is fired from cron.

Yes, it sounds like you want a Jar

Search the user list for assembly plugin plus jar-with-dependencies parameter.

Not to ask a stupid question, but why should I have to use a plugin for
this? This is standard functionality that many projects require. Shouldn't
this be part of the standard maven goals?

A list of goals isn't really much of an 'about' the plugin. It would be
more usefull to describe what the plugin can do and provide tutorials

(I'm in the process of getting sorted out with a confluence id etc I'll
be happy to help write some docs).

If you have a standalone app then you probably want to create an
binary assembly that would include your jar file (with correct
Class-Path in the Manifest file), any dependent libraries, and config
files, any documentation.

To do this you will want to use the

Search the archives, there should be plenty of examples on this.
I tend not to use the built in descriptors as I find they don't meet my
needs.
It is very easy to write your assembly descriptors.

Err,
Did you check the section on the left?
It reads:
* Introduction
* How to Use
* Examples
* Descriptor Format
* Predefined Descriptors

Admittedly the docs are sometimes thin and assembly could use a bit
more in some places, but there is enough there to get started on.
It's only when you want to do more advanced things that you will need
more help and search on the archives to find it.
