I do something similar and then package up everything as a zip file or
tar.gz with the assembly plugin.
Something like this:
<!-- this is an old project. use updated plugin versions
or better yet, pluginManagement -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</configuration>
</plugin>
And the assembly.xml file (leaving out the schema for brevity):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<assembly>
<id>bin</id>
<formats>
<format>tar.gz</format>
<format>zip</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<includeSiteDirectory>false</includeSiteDirectory>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>target</directory>
<outputDirectory></outputDirectory>
<includes>
<include>*.jar</include>
<include>lib/</include>
</includes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
</assembly>
Then, mvn package followed by mvn assembly:single gives me a tar.gz and
a zip file containing the correct structure. I can ship that around,
unpack it, and run the program from the command line with:
java -jar ./jarname.jar
Works for me.
. . . just my two cents
