If you want to launch a RMI servant, as a stand-alone, from a JAR file you must change your program according to the following steps
a) skip rmiregistry and create an internal registry thread instead http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/rmi/registry/LocateRegistry.htm l#createRegistry(int) and bind your RMI servant to your internal registry http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/rmi/registry/Registry.html#bind (java.lang.String,%20java.rmi.Remote) b) skip the policy file and register a permissive security manager instead http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/rmi/RMISecurityManager.html subclass RMISecurityManager and implement an empty checkXyz() for each thrown SecurityException c) if you need dynamic client code loading, launch an internal (simple/tiny/limited) http server, which points to a directory of your class files, which should be available for your RMI client http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/rmi/spec/rmi-arch5.html d) declare the Main-Class JAR manifest attribute e) jar it together using Ant, before messing around with maven f) launch it using double-click or java -jar ...

(so configure it as a resource in maven) - Can I make it call "start rmiregistry"? This one isn't so important as the rest, as this problem only occurs on the server and the others also occur on the client.
