Aggregate jars
Right now, we have a ton of jars, most of which are needed to actually run OpenJPA. For real users, we should create aggregates of these jars, for example:
| openjpa-0.9.0-full.jar |
contains all openjpa code, openjpa-*.jars merged |
| openjpa-0.9.0-nodep.jar |
contains all openjpa code and all third party dependency jars |

Maven assemblies
There's a way to build these using maven.
Declare the maven-assembly-plugin
Add the maven-assembly-plugin to the "build" section of your pom.xml like so:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>assembly</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/full.xml</descriptor>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/nodep.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Create the "full" assembly descriptor
In the directory "src/main/assembly/", create the following file:
<assembly>
<id>full</id>
<formats>
<format>jar</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
<unpack>true</unpack>
<scope>runtime</scope>
<includes>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-jdbc-5</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-jdbc</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-kernel-4</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-kernel-5</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-kernel</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-lib</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-persistence-jdbc</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-persistence</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-project</include>
<include>org.apache.openjpa:openjpa-xmlstore</include>
</includes>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
Create the "nodep" assembly descriptor
Also in the directory "src/main/assembly/", create the following file:
<assembly>
<id>full</id>
<formats>
<format>jar</format>
</formats>
<includeBaseDirectory>false</includeBaseDirectory>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<outputDirectory>/</outputDirectory>
<unpack>true</unpack>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
