Simple question on packaging a Java Application

["Horton, Anne B" <an...@lmco.com>]

Say you have a Java application (j2Se) and it has some dependent
modules.   Easy - right???   

 

How do I get the Java application packaged as a jar when in my
<packaging> clause in the Java application pom.xml is "pom"?

Why do you use <packaging> "pom" for a java application? This way your java 
files wouldn't even get compiled (without extra configuration).

You could use the Appassembler maven plugin [0], but I don't know how well 
it works with packaging pom.

create another module that packages everything into the jar via the
assembly plugin.
