What you are looking for is probably uber-jar: a single jar file with all embedded jar dependencies, the newly version of maven-assembly-plugin support this as one of the 4 pre-defined descriptor, check out here.

Try using maven-assembly-plugin replace your maven-jar-plugin like this:

  
    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-assembly-plugin
    
      
        
          com.myproject.Main
          true
          lib/
        
      
      jar-with-dependencies
    
    
      
        package
        single
      
    
  

Alternatively, you can also use maven-shade-plugin to do this.

Hope that helps.
