Start by getting it working with Eclipse and Maven.
Tell Maven and Eclipse that you are trying to build a standalone 
application when you create the Eclipse project.
It will structure your project so that it builds one with the assets in 
the right place to run it.

Points to remember
1) Don't fight Maven. It always wins.
2) Lots of people are building whatever it is that you are building and 
have already solved ALL the typical problems and built these solutions 
into Maven and Eclipse.
3) If it doesn't work, you have done something wrong. This is the 
hardest one to deal with
4) Get the basics right first and customize later once you know how it 
should hang together.
5) When asking a question in the forum, ask in terms of what you are 
trying to accomplish not how. You will get much better advice if people 
know what you want to accomplish as a result. "How should I set up maven 
to build a standalone Java application(compiler)?" than "How do I make 
maven tell Ant about classpaths?".

The members here are really great and very helpful.
You will get all the support that you need to make this work well.
