You can use the assembly plugin with "jar-with-dependencies"
configuration to build the Jar you are looking for...
<build><plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptorId>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorId>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>ggg.MainApp</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
HTH.
