did you try out Maven Assembly Plugin
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/

You probably want to look at maven assemblies and the maven book. http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/assemblies.html

your time would probably be better spent by reading the Maven book to learn about Maven than writing this blog entry..

What you want to look at is the assembly plugin. While I don't think it will give you a zip file, it will let you pack everything into a JAR and for a executable JAR that can be downloaded. It handles extracting all your dependencies and putting them in place.
Looking for something like this: <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration> <descriptorRefs> <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef> </descriptorRefs>
....
Hope this helps!

Maven does support packaging of compound zips. See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/

Hi, had some similar problems back then. I'm using maven for releasing desktop application for 3yrs now. Here r my notes for your suffering ;)
Single zip: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin (for multipple, keyword is overlay)
Main class: http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/examples/classpath.html#Add
Adding dependencies: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/copy-dependencies-mojo.html
all within standard plugins... if u want some more info (ex. pices of pom.xml) post me e-mail...
Don't give up on Maven, its just another way of thinking (a better one actually ;))
And final word: if u need some special work done, writing your own plugin is commonly faster than searching for solution... damn easy.

Thank you all for your responses. Based on them I studied the recommended book and modified the pom.xml. Thanks a lot.

Hi, probably a good idea is to try the maven assembly plugin : http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/features.html also take a look at : http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/descriptor-refs.html Better Builds with Maven is great book : http://www.maestrodev.com/better-build-maven and last but not least : you can always go back to ant with the Maven ant plugin : http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/
I'm coming from the web development world .. so for a pity I cannot comment on the question about is maven ready for java desktop applications.
Wish you luck with Maven :)
