Bryan While I understand the general reason why we still have fat jars in this world, it usually points to a problem (e.g., the target runtime environment is less then adequate to manage the application's classpath amongst other things). If its your own runtime (e.g., standalone akka app) then I would err on the side of creating a small launcher scrip or look at Akka Microkernel. I would also look at the features of build tools you are using (Sbt, Gradle, Maven etc...). Some of them have plugins that would do those things for you. For example; the 'Application' plug-in in Gradle would package all that is required into a zip while also generating startup scripts with classpath etc. I am sure Sbt has something similar. Fat jar just sounds kind of patchy and depending on what you are putting in it may also present a legal question that I am sure you don't want to deal with
