Hi Steve, There is a simple answer: mvn dependency:copy-dependencies Please refer to http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/

My question is -- is there a way to ask maven also puts all (or some) those dependent jar files under target/ too. The origin of the issue is that we have a project that builds a jar for Mule. However, when deploying this jar file to Mule, we still have to collect all the dependent jar files that Mule does not have and place them under Mule's lib/user/ folder. So every time we upgrade a dependency, for instance, json-lib from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3, we not only have to modify the pom.xml, but also look for json-lib 2.2.3 jar and make sure we upgrade it in lib/user/. Wouldn't it be easier if maven can figure these all out for us since it is all in pom.xml ?
