I faced a nagging problem of not able to create a runnable jar using Maven assembly plugin. I had a couple of dependencies which were required at runtime. I used the jar-with-dependecies assembly to achieve this. But my Main-Class attribute from the MANIFEST.MF was lost every time.
The solution to this problem is archive configuration under assembly plugin as described here
skip to main

jar with dependencies is not a good idea as, it "merge" the classes in same jar
using archive is a good idea

Yeah, not that I am great fan of the jar-with-dependencies type of assembly, but the thing that I was writing was a command line utility, so I did not want to keep writing shell / batch script for it. I just bundled a runnable jar.
