You can either put the needed jars in the classpath environment variable or you can build it into a command line that you package into a batch file or script that you run to run the application.
Or, if you know where the other jars are going to be, relative to your jar, you can add entries to the manifest file that is inside your jar. Someone else will have to tell you how to do that in Maven for a standalone jar. You might google the class-path entry in the manifest file and learn a bit about the way that works. Make sure you read about standalone jars instead of j2ee "jars" because the rules are a little different. -- Lee On 2/24/06, Wayne Fay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > IIRC this was called Uberjar back in m1.
