Useful Maven plugins

Today I would like to share some useful Maven plugins:

• exec-maven-plugin
• executes JAR with mvn exec:java command
• maven-jar-plugin
• builds an executable JAR
• maven-dependency-plugin
• adds dependencies to lib/ folder
• maven-assembly-plugin
• includes dependencies to jar

    org.codehaus.mojo
    exec-maven-plugin
    1.1
    
        com.package.Main
    


    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-jar-plugin
    2.4
    
        
            
                true
                lib/
                com.package.Main
            
        
    


    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-dependency-plugin
    
        
            copy
            package
            
                copy-dependencies
            
            
                
                    ${project.build.directory}/lib
                
            
        
    


    maven-assembly-plugin
    
        
            package
            
                single
            
        
    
    
        
            jar-with-dependencies
        
        
            
                ${mainClass}
