Datanucleus JDO in maven assembly jar

I used the maven assembly package to create a single monolithic jar. Included is the datanucleus package, but I am getting errors because I did not maintain the OSGI structure (plugins.xml & META-INF/META-INF.MD). The answers on stackoverflow([question]: Datanucleus, JDO and executable jar - how to do it?) do not provide answers on how to create the single deployable jar.

Does anyone know what maven directives I can use to ensure OSGI structure?

So, the problem is that packing everything into a monolithic jar is that the OSGI structures get overritten by the OSGI structure of other jars. The benefit of the monolithic jar was to have a single file to push to the server but not necessary (since I was using capistrano to push to the server)

Instead, it's easier to just copy the jars into the final build directory. Heroku's Java setup has a perfect example of this:
