I'm trying to build an executable jar and I want to include some of the
dependencies of my project in the jar itself for runtime. Is there a way to
do this? The following page was somewhat helpful:
But it doesn't discuss including the JARs. I mean I could add a resources
directory and include the JARs there I believe but I was hopeing for
something more automatic.
Thanks!

Looking through my archive, this topic comes up nearly every week I
guess you didn't search for the answer prior to sending this question?

It was even discussed just yesterday! Look at the thread titled
"Creating a Java application" for some options

try to use the assembly plugin:

found the thread (again my bad Wayne)thanks Valerio

However, just like the last thread, this seems like a very awkward way of
handling it (an assembly plugin to just assemble binaries and various
files. I mean one of the anchor item features of maven is its dependency
handling. Be nice to exploit that to just include the dependencies I need
like the WAR and EAR plugins via some scope parameter, no? :D

The P is cool but not acceptable for production (adding an external
jar to run a jaruggh).

try to use the assembly plugin:

Alright, I have this owrking minus I can't seem to set the final name of my
zipped assembly.

It seems that the assembly name concat's the <finalNametage with the <id>
tage of my assembly file. I want to call it <something>.zip, how do I do
this? If I leave off final name and just use ID, that doesn't work, if I
use <finalNamebut no ID, then I get name-null.zip.

Thanks!

Its K I just have to flame every now and then for things like that
in an effort to encourage others to search before sending. Sorry you
were the target in this case. ;-)

I'm not building executable jars personally so I'm afraid I'm not much
help on this topic

to exclude the id you can use:
<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>

No flame away. I make it point on all forums (work and play) to search
FIRST ask SECND but in these case I was flying blind (still getting used to
Gmail's labeling feature). Anyway, the assembly plugin isn't that bad
(feels like ANT).

Now I just need this name thing sorted out? (finalName should be FINAL
NAME!!!)
