You can do a jar containing all dependencies with the following descriptor.
However - the excludes doesn't work properly in the assembly plugin, so if
you have dependencies that are signed, you'll have to fix them afterwards
annoyingly.
You can also pack jars into the /lib and use something like one-jar - this
is quicker, but I found one-jar loads everthing into memory before running
(which fell over for me because my project is big).
