howto simply export dependent jars someplace

[Steve Cohen <sc...@javactivity.org>]

I have the following task, which should be simple.  I'm having a brain 
cramp but I can't figure out how to do it.

I am building a straight java application with dependencies.  Under 
"normal" circumstances, I can get what I need painlessly by using the 
maven assembly plugin and building a jar-with-dependencies.

However, the end goal here is that this application runs on a number of 
workstations, to which new versions would be pushed if available by an 
outside legacy process (not maven).

In this scenario we simply wish to have the dependent jars (which will 
change rarely, if ever) in a lib directory on each machine, and an 
executable jar with a manifest putting all the jars on the classpath.

I simply want to extract all the dependent jars from the repository into 
a directory.  This collection can then be copied out to the production 
servers.

What, if any, maven goal/lifecycle phase allows me to gather all the 
dependent jars someplace without manually picking each one out of my 
local repo?
