Have Maven build a jar with all dependencies included (Misc)

Category: Misc

Maven is a software/dependency management tool for Java - it can be used to pull in dependencies and build a jar from a bunch of source

By default, the jar won't have dependencies rolled into it. Sometimes though, you want the overhead of the bigger jar.
