To acheave what you need you should use maven-dependency-plugin
and add following to your pom.xml

    
        
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-dependency-plugin
            2.4
            
                
                    copy-dependencies
                    package
                    
                        copy-dependencies
                    
                    
                        ${project.build.directory}/jars
                        false
                        false
                        true
                    
                
            
        
    

Then the dependencies will be in target/jars dir.

To execute your app you use command:

Windows:
java -cp "yourFile.jar;jars/*" package.className

Linux:
java -cp "yourFile.jar:jars/*" package.className

NOTE: do not use jars/*.jar, this will not work
