[m2e-users] Fwd: m2eclipse & bundling up selenium dependencies

[Bhréin Brannick <bhreinb@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I hoping someone on this mailer can help with the following. I'm a newbie to Eclipse & Maven and this may be a basic question but I'm trying to build a single executable Jar file that will include project dependencies so for this I'm using m2eclipse a maven plugin for eclipse. So here is where I'm at present.

The project has two main java files and one test file (default test and main file through using m2eclipse new project wizard). I added my own class namely the following

package VxcExperience.Selenium.Example.SeleniumDemoTests;
import java.net.URL;
import org.openqa.selenium.Dimension;
import org.openqa.selenium.Point;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
public class RemoteWebDriverTest
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://10.53.59.247:4444/wd/hub"), DesiredCapabilities.firefox());

            driver.get("http://www.google.com");
         
            driver.manage().window().setPosition(new Point(100, 100));
        
             driver.manage().window().maximize();
        
             driver.manage().window().setSize(new Dimension(600, 600));
    }
}

As you can see per the above this class would have dependency on Selenium packages which I used m2eclipse to resolve and am able to run as a Java application within the IDE. Namely all the selenium libraries are located under Maven Dependencies within package explorer. So far OK. But what I'm trying to do is export it to a single Jar file that would have references to selenium dependencies within it so that i can essentially drop on another users machine and run like the following from a command line:

java -classpath <NameOfJar>.jar VxcExperience.Selenium.Example.SeleniumDemoTests.RemoteWebDriverTest

However, this never works as the built jar doesn't include the Selenium references from viewing the package using 7-zip. But if i tried the sample that is created using the wizard for example

java -classpath <NameOfJar>.jar VxcExperience.Selenium.Example.SeleniumDemoTests.App

it prints hello world. I wonder what I'm trying to do is achievable using eclipse and m2eclipse or am I missing a step? I believe m2eclipse to be the tool to use to bundle up dependencies into a runnable single jar file. Sorry to spam the wrong mailer if this is not the right place to ask this question but I'd appreciate any guidance given. Thanks in advance. Btw my pom.xml looks like the following
