maven transfer all repositories separately

Question

I am trying to generate an executable jar for a project called "mysas" using maven, just like this:

How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven?

I added the snippet shown there to the pom.xml, and ran mvn clean install. It generates two jar files in mysas/target: mysas-0.1.0.jar, and mysas-0.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar.

I need to test and run this file on a remote machine but mysas-0.1.0-jar-with-dependencies.jar is around 500 MB

I don't want to move this big file every time I make a small change. Is there a way that I can transfer dependencies only once separately, and use mysas-0.1.0.jar for testing my changes.

You can package needed dependent jars using maven assembly plugin and while executing the application make sure that these jars are on classpath

Thanks , that's I am aware but how can I extract all the jars at the first place . there are around 40 jars, going to m2 folder identify each and then copy will be a pain too – Count Mar 17 '15 at 10:06

One possible solution is to use Appassembler plugin to package your application. Then, you can transfer entire bundle once and then update only your jar (without dependencies) for each build.
