Three ways to create an executable and fat JAR with Maven : | |
maven-jar-plugin (it doesn't add dependencies inside the final JAR, they have to be in the classpath) | |
Don't forget it goes between the build and plugins tags. | |
<build> | |
<plugins> | |
<plugin> | |
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> | |
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> | |
<configuration> | |
<archive> | |
<manifest> | |
<mainClass>{your.package.main.class}</mainClass> | |
</manifest> | |
</archive> | |
</configuration> | |
</plugin> | |
</plugins> | |
</build> | |
maven-assembly-plugin (it adds all dependecies inside the final fat JAR) | |
<build> | |
<plugins> | |
<plugin> | |
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> | |
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> | |
<configuration> | |
<descriptorRefs> | |
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef> | |
</descriptorRefs> | |
<archive> | |
<manifest> | |
<mainClass>{your.package.main.class}</mainClass> | |
</manifest> | |
</archive> | |
</configuration> | |
<executions> | |
<execution> | |
<phase>package</phase> | |
<goals> | |
<goal>single</goal> | |
</goals> | |
</execution> | |
</executions> | |
</plugin> | |
</plugins> | |
</build> | |
maven-shade-plugin (it adds all dependecies inside the final fat JAR and executes shading) | |
<plugin> | |
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> | |
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId> | |
<configuration> | |
<transformers> | |
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer"> | |
<mainClass>{your.package.main.class}</mainClass> | |
</transformer> | |
</transformers> | |
</configuration> | |
<executions> | |
<execution> | |
<phase>package</phase> | |
<goals> | |
<goal>shade</goal> | |
</goals> | |
</execution> | |
</executions> | |
</plugin> |
