Creating a fat jar for Dropwizard application

Question

I am trying to create a fat jar for a multi module java project following the dropwizard documentation that makes use of the maven shade plugin.

In order to do this I created another aggregator project which is just another pom.xml and configured the plugin in this pom.xml

Is there a way I can add my classpath in this configuration? What am I missing?

Is there a reason you're not just creating the fat jar from your dropwizard POM? — condit, Feb 20 '15 at 17:21
Yes, if I use the parent pom , it throws an exception. Followed this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3147512/using-maven-shade-plugin-in-a-multi-module-project-nullpointerexception — user_mda, Feb 20 '15 at 18:51
This is why I like gradle :) I used the shadow plugin and it worked really well. — th3morg, Feb 21 '15 at 21:41

For all those interested. I fixed the issue by forcing Guava version 12 that the application gets from dropwizard.

You should accept your own answer. Especially if you have found a solution to your problem. – zloster Mar 13 '15 at 14:47
