As Anders stated, the standard class loader in the Sun JVM does not have any ability to load a jar file contained within another jar file. There are alternative class loaders available that do allow this (eg ClassWorlds), but the easiest approach is to simply use the shade plugin or assembly plugin to embed the classes from your dependency jars into your own jar/artifact.
