Yup, Wendy's right. Here's a sample we've used:

<plugin>
         <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
         <configuration>
           <descriptorId>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorId>
           <finalName>the-jar-name</finalName>
           <outputDirectory>target/</outputDirectory>
           <workDirectory>target/assembly/work</workDirectory>
           <!-- include runtime deps -->
           <scope>runtime</scope>
           <archive>
             <manifest>
               <!-- a main class for using the jar from a shell -->
               <mainClass>gr.abiss.someproject.App</mainClass>
               <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
             </manifest>
           </archive>
         </configuration>

         <executions>
           <execution>
             <id>make-assembly</id>
             <!-- this is used for inheritance merges -->
             <phase>package</phase>
             <!-- append to the packaging phase. -->
             <goals>
               <goal>attached</goal>
             </goals>
           </execution>
         </executions>
       </plugin>

hth,
