The approach in the other article (which has a link to my github repository) is extract the dependencies into the executable war file. It's not elegant, but it's the approach I've found to be the most practical.

I use zipTree with gradle. I think you can use dependency:unpack-dependencies with maven.

I've also heard people report good experience with the shade plugin.

Ok, I am doing almost exactly the same thing, and am having some issues with appassembler. (still rough around the edges) I was hoping some details on your maven configuration might help me a bit.

Hi Jan-Olav

The article has been superseded by this: http://johannesbrodwall.com.... (Even that article doesn't have the full latest version of my thinking on the subject, though)

Late arrival to the party here. Is the svn repo you link to still meant to be available ?

Great stuff! I've been thinking about how one can close the gap between test and production for quite a while, and this is definately one of the best approaches I have heard of.
Way to go - get in control!
