Maven - include external jars in final jar

Question

I have been wondering how to include specific jar's into the final maven builded jar. I tried using scope system but it does not include it in jar.

Thank You

One jar does not contain another. Web Archives (war) files contain jars, as do Enterprise Archives (ear) files.

Indeed. Probably the OP is referring to creating a 'fat jar'. – Gimby Feb 24 '14 at 16:09
