The assembly plugin should be able to do that, but also take a look a the maven-dependency-plugin:copy / copy-dependencies goals. You could also use this to pull it from the repo to a local folder and then include that in the assembly. Sometimes this is easier to manage than trying to coax the assembly to do everything.

Our hudson server generated the jar file for the project and deployed it into our snapshot repo. Now we want to create a couple of zips that contain the jar, its dependecies, and an environment specific property file and we would like to do this without having to create additonal poms. brettporter wrote: > > Both - there is a dependencies element in the assembly descriptor that > can use the dependencies listed in the POM (with filters applied) to > add them to the assembly.
