How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven?
33 answers
Using IntelliJ I just created a new Maven project and added the following to the pom file http://undertow.io/downloads.html and the following to a Main.java file http://undertow.io/index.html
Now if I run the code all works well, but how do I make this as a "fat jar" that will contain all the dependencies in the pom file and that I'll be able to run by just java -jar my.jar
? Like you are able to do with a Spring Boot app.
Maven Shade Plugin does this well.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<transformers>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
<mainClass>package.Main</mainClass>
</transformer>
</transformers>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
1) Add the Spring-boot-maven-plugin
to the pom.xml file
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4.0.RELEASE</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
2) Change the packing to jar
<packaging>jar</packaging>
3) mvn package
will create the executable jar.
