Executable jar with onejar-maven-plugin
Problem
If you have ever tried doing this before with Maven, you have probably used maven-assembly-plugin, which would leave the door open for classpath problems!
It would extract all your dependency jars in one directory together  with all your class files and all other classpath resources. The problem  is that everything ended up in a big mix, with classpath resources  possibly overwriting each other. For example, if two dependencies each  had a log4j.properties file in their jar, one log4j.properties would overwrite the other.
No more of that mess!
Solution
Enter maven-onejar-plugin. It lets all your dependency jars stay jars, and your code is in its own jar. All of those jars are put in a bigger jar, which is made executable.
Configuration
It may sound weird, but it's quite elegant! Just put this in your pom.xml's  tag to make it work:
org.dstovall onejar-maven-plugin 1.3.0 your.package.YourMainClass one-jar 
You also need to add this to the pom:
onejar-maven-plugin.googlecode.com http://onejar-maven-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/mavenrepo
