Hi Nick Thanks for the input.
I've tried the "Maven Assembly Plugin" and some else has suggested the "maven-shade-plugin". Both, pretty much, do the job...But, the "maven-shade-plugin" names the artifact the way I want. I will post the entire pom, below, so that new comers to Maven2 -- like myself -- can get a better context of how these plugins fit into my pom: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
