There is an <unpack> tag in assembly descriptor that does this. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly.html > > If I send them a jar with dependencies, then they would have to crack > the jar open, because the classloader won't read a jar within a jar. > I think that classworlds can do this. You could also write a simple wrapper classloader that launches your application. I did this once to ensure platform-independent classpath resolution as I could not write a script in windows that would add a list of jars in one lib to classpath (not an expert rin windows scripting obviously). If you are interested by this small snippet, I can send you. BTW, IBM released recently a tool for doing just that kind of things (loading jars from jars).
