I have a Netbeans 8.0.2 Java project using Maven. I wish to produce a JAR with all dependencies included. I have seen similar questions but none of which seem to have a the solution that said I am new to it.
This is what i have added to the pom.xml (excluding dependencies etc.) from what I have read online but still no luck.
<properties> <mainClass>com.oss.nia.startup</mainClass> </properties> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <phase>install</phase> <goals> <goal>copy-dependencies</goal> </goals> <configuration> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix> <mainClass>${mainClass}</mainClass> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
