If you would like your classes and the dependencies to appear in one jar file, you should use either the assembly plugin or the one-jar plugin before the jarsigner. I have the following working setup with the assembly plugin, it will produce the normal (signed) jar and a ${artifactId}-${version}-jar-with-dependencies.jar (also signed).

                    jar-with-dependencies
                
                
                    true
                    
                        true
                    
                
            
            
                
                    make-my-applet-jar
                    package
                    
                        single
