Thanks Alexandre! POMStrap is great. I'll sure use it a lot for development purposes.
However, what I'd like is to package an application and then distribute it (without requiring users to have Maven installed). Let's say I've written a cool application. You download it. You have Java on your machine. You unzip and run it. -----Original Message----- From: Alexandre Russel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 5:14 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Creating a Java application Do you know POMStrap ? http://pomstrap.prefetch.com/en/index.xml Commande Line Interface POMStrap can work as an application bootstrap. It just requires a pom file (Maven 2 project file) and a class/method to fetch all required dependencies and launch the application using a command line syntax such as: java -jar pomstrap-1.0.4.jar groupId:artifact:version classname[:method] [method args] for example: java -jar pomstrap-1.0.4.jar pomstrap:testApp:1.0 com.prefetch.pomstrap.App:run If no method is provided it will try to start the classical java static main method.
