Hi Tim,
I've had a related issue, where I wanted all of the resources and libraries for
a cTAKES application bundled into a single jar file. The Maven solution that
works for me is to add the following to your pom's plugins section:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>your.class.Here</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I then call Maven with the following goals:
clean compile assembly:single
This generates a single jar file with all of your dependencies.

I think this is also an area where Maven integration was a small step backwards
(I greatly appreciate the steps forward it allowed). I used to run stuff from
the command line and in scripts more often but it's slightly less
straightforward setting up the classpath with maven -- before you could put a
simple java -cp lib/*.jar <class name> in a script, now I'm not sure how to go
about it using maven. I'm sure there's a way, but I am afraid of falling down
the maven rabbit hole.
