Making jar with dependency jars incorporated with maven

I want to start my program from the clear console. Here is the code, which has to be placed in pom.xml:


<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <descriptorRefs>
          <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
        </descriptorRefs>
        <archive>
          <manifest>
            <mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass>
          </manifest>
        </archive>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>


Where you have to put the build section in your pom.xml? Here is link to the structure of pom.xml file.

To generate an assembly, run:

mvn assembly:assembly


The generated .jar file is placed in target folder.

Running the program is also so easy, for example:

java -Djava.security.debug=certpath -jar target\xxx-2.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar > certpath.txt 2>&1
