Hi I am developing a web application with maven structure so the maven create Maven Dependencies library to include the jar. My question is I need this library or jars in it so that I can use them to another non maven project like java project archetype in eclipse.

You need to configure your pom.xml to create a fat jar (jar including all of your dependencies inside jar) and then run mvn clean package

in that link you mention one maven plugin if I understood correct it will create jar for that maven project itself right? – Shekhar Khairnar Dec 17 '14 at 13:33

yes including all of its dependencies inside jar, for example if you have dependency of `log4j` inside your project's `pom.xml` fat jar will have classes for your project + log4j jar in it – jmj Dec 17 '14 at 13:34

what if I only need log4j jar and not classes for my project? – Shekhar Khairnar Dec 17 '14 at 13:35

You will need to use maven dependency plugin, [see reference](http://stackoverflow.com/a/996915/260990) – jmj Dec 17 '14 at 13:37
