You could also try using the dependency-maven-plugin
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/dependency-maven-plugin/) to copy or unpack
your dependent JARs into your target folder before the package phase.
For instance:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>dependency-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>unpack</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase><!-- Or some other phase before
package. -->
<goals>
<goal>unpack</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>big-project</groupId>
<artifactId>local-model</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>jar</type>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Good luck,

I have been trying to find a way to get Maven to produce a jar artifact
that includes (some of) its dependent artifacts, without much luck. I
have seen a few ways that promise this, but none panned out in the ways
that we need. If anyone can suggest a way to do this, I'd be much
obliged. I included my POM and assembly files below.
I did get this to work somewhat using assembly descriptors, but I also
need the manifest to have certain project-specific values which get
inserted using the standard jar plugin under <manifestEntries>. They
don't get inserted into the *-jar-with-dependencies that the assembly
plugin produces.
There's also talk about the Classworld's Uberjar plugin, but I cannot
figure out how to invoke it. The artifact id is not found to download,
and I don't know to configure it, despite all the documentation on it.
It might be specific to Maven 1.x, I am using Maven 2.0.2.
Thanks to all in advance,
