Hi Tim,

I've had a related issue, where I wanted all of the resources and libraries=
 for a cTAKES application bundled into a single jar file. The Maven solutio=
n that works for me is to add the following to your pom's plugins section:

			<plugin>
				<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
				<configuration>
					<archive>
						<manifest>
							<mainClass>your.class.Here</mainClass>
						</manifest>
					</archive>
					<descriptorRefs>
						<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
					</descriptorRefs>
				</configuration>
			</plugin>

I then call Maven with the following goals:

clean compile assembly:single

This generates a single jar file with all of your dependencies.

-Will

I think this is also an area where Maven integration was a small step backw=
ards (I greatly appreciate the steps forward it allowed). I used to run stu=
ff from the command line and in scripts more often but it's slightly less s=
traightforward setting up the classpath with maven -- before you could put =
a simple java -cp lib/*.jar <class name> in a script, now I'm not sure how =
to go about it using maven. I'm sure there's a way, but I am afraid of fall=
ing down the maven rabbit hole.
