Re: How to include dependencies when building/installing a .jar ???

[Eric Weiss <we...@llnl.gov>]

Thx all for the responses.

Yes, it does sound like an .ear/.war, but I don't have a web.xml file and 
it is not a web based app destined for a container.  Actually, I am trying 
to deploy an app to an Apache JAMES server.  I need a bunch of my own 
classes as well as many dependent jars put into a couple of different 
directories under JAMES.  I am ok with having to manually put the files in 
place, but I need to get M2 to package them all up into a single "tarball" 
so I can 1) move it to the server, 2) get everything I need in one file for 
later extraction.

Someone mentioned using the assembly plugin, which I tried, but couldn't 
get to work.  I will try again and post the error I am getting.

Great suggestions, thx for the help everyone!

Eric
