This is a fine approach. I still maintain the exec plugin is a great
option for these types of uses - so long as you (the developer) are
the one who needs to run the app. If you want to deliver it to a
third-party in a single executable jar format, then assembly and other
plugins are generally superior.

It is also a good idea to use an installer to package an app for delivery.
IzPack is a free installer that has a Maven plug-in to help ease the
setup.
It allows you to build the code in an OS neutral fashion and make the
installer deal with your OS-dependent bits such as configuration files
and registry entries.
