Does anyone have an *end-to-end* example (with files you can send or attach)
that will allow me to create a single jar with all dependencies using maven?
In the end I want to be able to:
$cd dist
$java -jar patch-main.jar
and have it run the public static void main(String[] args) method in one of
my classes in a sub module
of the project. So therefore the super jar needs to package all dependent
jars from other modules and their dependencies.
=>
I have module dependencies (things I have written in subdirectories that
compile to
a jar) and inside these modules they have dependencies and there are over
400 jars
in my maven repo (many of them mine but mostly not)
What I am looking for is a *complete end-to-end* example of how to do this
and
what to type on the command line to do this so that I get an output jar in
dist/.
I have looked at the maven assembly plugin and after a day of editing XML
files
and trying things, I have absolutely nothing.
My project looks like this:
trunk/
/patch/
/dist/
pom.xml
/main/src/main/java/com/...
/main/src/main/resources/
/main/src/main/assembly/
/main/pom.xml
/utils/pom.xml
/utils/src/main/java/com/...
<module>/src/main/java/com/...
<module>pom.xml
<sub-module>/src/main/java/com/...
<sub-module>/pom.xml
<sub-sub-module/src/main/java/com/...
<sub-sub-module/pom.xml
So there is a jar created under /patch/main/target/ under utils/target/
and
under each <module> and <sub-module>
What I want to be able to do is cd into /patch/ and run some maven
command
and
end up with a single jar in the /dist/ directory that I can then do:
java -jar patch.jar
the static main method is in
/main/src/main/java/com/company/main/PatchManagerImpl.java
---
Please help, the maven assembly documemtation does not provide a clear
cut
example
of how to do this with modules and sub modules nor does it explain each
line in
the examples given.
If anyone has the xml text that I could simply paste into
/patch/pom.xml
and an assembly.xml that I can drop into place (to be put under
/src/main/assembly/assembly.xml,
it would be greatly appreciated.
I have lost a day trying to get this to work and not sure what I am
doing
wrong so an *end-to-end*
example would get me going.
thank you so much
Lisa
