使用maven在导出的jar文件中包含jar文件和依赖项

Question

I am trying to program a plugin for BungeeCord (Minecraft) with geoip2. I am trying to contain the dependency "com.maxmind.geoip2" and the BungeeCord API jar file in my jar file because I'm getting a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/maxmind/geoip2/exception/GeoIp2Exception

I've tried this , but it didn't work for me.

While researching more I came across maven shader and I currently have this in my pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

           </configuration>
        </execution>
     </executions>
  </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

And my App.java is:

public class App extends Plugin implements Listener{

public static DatabaseReader database;

@Override
public void onEnable(){
    getProxy().getPluginManager().registerListener(this, this);
    try {
        database = new DatabaseReader.Builder(new File(this.getDataFolder().getPath()+"//countrydatabase.csv")).build();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

@EventHandler
public void login(LoginEvent e){
    CountryResponse response;
    try {
        response = database.country(e.getConnection().getAddress().getAddress());
        System.out.println(e.getConnection().getName()+" comes from "+response.getCountry().getName());
    } catch (IOException e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    } catch (GeoIp2Exception e1) {
        e1.printStackTrace();
    }
}

}

I must say that I've only just found out about maven and don't really understand it very goodly and haven't found any tutorials that I understand.

What you are trying to make is what a lot of people call a 'fat jar' or 'uber jar'
You can create this by using the maven-shade-plugin.
Here is more information about it: http://www.mkyong.com/maven/create-a-fat-jar-file-maven-shade-plugin/
