Make a standard JAR project, and put the descriptor in src/main/resources/assemblies. (The 'assemblies' bit is important.) Build. Add that artifact as a plugin-level dependency of the assembly plugin for your project. Now, you can use it as a descriptorRef, just like jar-with-dependencies. http://books.sonatype.com/maven-book/reference/assemblies.html#d0e16265 has step-by-step instructions. - John --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
