If you want to include all dependencies into jar, you can use maven assembly plugin. You can integrate it to build process, see: http://stackoverflow.com/a/589111/121143 I have done this for creating full-blown jar with test which can be easily uploaded to Amazon micro instance for load testing.

So, this means that they are expected to be provided somewhere else in the run time environment, doesn't it? Which means that it doesn't seem like there's a difference between compile and provided . . . am I missing something? > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@maven.apache.org
