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 [[Maven#It_is_Ready.21_It_is_Just_Different.|modified the pom.xml]]. Thanks a lot.

Yes the basic maven documentation is not a good start, and the sonatype book is very helpfull to understand how it works. In the other hand, when you'll have understand the basics, the plugins documentation is very efficient:
 +
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/
 +
 +
And, with the book, a very good way is to read pom.xml of good projects to learn how they do.
 +
 +
And yes, NetBeans is very good tool for working with maven projects :-)

How very timely! I was just thkniing about this last night and started the ever-difficult climb back into the workout wagon this morning. I started running seriously over the summer and ran a half marathon in September but had only run once or twice since! I loved how running and working out made me feel, physically and mentally it just boosts all sorts of good feelings. Why wouldn't I want to continue that? Well, it started off innocently enough, as falling out of the wagon usually does I took some days off post-race to recuperate. Then I got sick. Then I got so overwhelmingly busy that I felt like working out would be a Waste of Time and that I could be doing more productive things. Now, how on earth can I expect to be at my best and be giving my all if I don't take care of myself?I'm getting back into working out and running dammit. It's happening. And it will be Glorious.

Comments on Maven <comments />

Dimiter Makariev said ...

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 :)

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!
