This is two different piece of configuration effort.
First, configure pom so that, the Manifest of mainJar to add classpath
for all dependency, and also enable "classpathPrefix" configuration to
"lib".
Put this fragment in your pom:
<!-- Fragment in POM -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<classpathPrefix>lib</classpathPrefix>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Secondly, use assembly plugin, put all dependency to "lib/" and put
the mainjar to
top level, the assembly descriptor should be some like this:
<!-- Fragment in pom.xml -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>assemble</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>directory-inline</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<finalName>package</finalName>
<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/binary.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<!-- File: assembly descriptor, src/main/assembly/binary.xml -->
<assembly>
<id>binary</id>
<formats>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>true</includeBaseDirectory>
<baseDirectory>all-in-one</baseDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<includes>
<include>${artifactId}-*.jar</include>
</includes>
<directory>${basedir}/target</directory>
<outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
<lineEnding>keep</lineEnding>
<fileMode>0644</fileMode>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
