title: Deploy jar with embedded jetty with maven
body: <p>I have a (large) maven-web-project with many dependencies. The project runs an embedded jetty.</p>
  
  <p>For some (customer related) reasons I cannot package a war to deploy it to some application server like a standalone jetty or tomcat.</p>
  
  <p>Now I need to deploy the whole project with all dependencies-jars and the web-root stuff to some production-server, where I can start by command line the embedded jetty like <code>java -jar myproject.jar</code>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I build such a package with maven. I tried maven-assembly-plugin, but I do not want to re-pack jars. (IMHO this is not a really good idea.) </p>
  
  <p>I need to package some zip or tar like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myproject.zip
    --myproject.jar
    --META-INF (with the whole classpath and may be the auto-start class)
    --libs
      --slf4j.jar
      --logback.jar
      --hibernate.jar
      --and many, many more.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas? TIA!</p>
