Dumb question: How to deploy a command line app?

[Bruno Melloni <bm...@melloni.com>]

Given that the whole point of using Maven is to "not have to worry about 
dependencies" I am having the most ironic (and probably trivial) problem:

- Using Maven in Eclipse.

- I wrote a very simple utility.  It builds as part of a JAR that will 
normally be used by other apps, but this utility can be executed from 
the command line.

- So, to run the utility on a server I did a RunAs/Maven/Install.  It 
placed the JAR in the expected .m2 location but... none of the JARs it 
depends on are there.


How do I tell Eclipse to run a Maven Install that puts *everything* 
needed by the project to run in one folder or folder tree?

One can also use the assembly plugin [1] to create a distributable file
that contains all this. That's what I would do.
The standard build process will only build the artifact and put it in the
maven repo, which is what you're seeing currently.

Use dependencies plugin and copy-dependencies goal. This will copy over all
of your dependencies into target/dependency folder. .m2 catalog already
contains your dependencies but in reapective subfolders. Ex. foo.bar:parser
would be under .m2/repository/foo/bar/parser
