I want to do the same thing so I'm looking at using http://one-jar.sourceforge.net/ and building a jar as per its' docs. However, I'm looking for more extensive docs for the jar plugin version 2.1 inorder to do this job.

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.
