You can do this with either the assembly plugin or the shade plugin.
You might find the latter easier to work with since instead of an
additional descriptor it will build an aggregated JAR and you can
include/exclude patterns of classes from the plugin configuration. An
example is here: http://www.packtpub.com/article/useful-maven-plugins-part1

Hi, Im pretty sure my issue is a common scenario across maven
projects.
Here is my scenario -
I have a web maven project with a number of dependencies. My project
demands
the user of an applet that has a number of dependencies. So, In
addition to
building my project, I also need to build my applet jar and package
inside
the webapp.
Now, the applet jar file is made up of several project specific
classes and
also third party library classes. For eg, the applet jar has
functionality
to generate PDF , so i need to package iText related classes as well.
Because of size concerns, I cannot package all classes from all applet
dependencies.
The question I have is how can i create an applet jar with selective
classes
from my application, my third party libraries etc.
I have been doing this with the help of ant tasks by calling ant
targets as
part of package phase.
Is there a better way of accomplishing this. ? For eg, a maven
plugin to a
similar job. ?
Thanks,
Anand
