Deploy jar with embedded jetty with maven

I have a (large) maven-web-project with many dependencies. The project runs an embedded jetty.

For some (customer related) reasons I cannot package a war to deploy it to some application server like a standalone jetty or tomcat.

Now I need to deploy the whole project with all dependencies-jars and the web-root stuff to some production-server, where I can start by command line the embedded jetty like java -jar myproject.jar.

How can I build such a package with maven. I tried maven-assembly-plugin, but I do not want to re-pack jars. (IMHO this is not a really good idea.)

I need to package some zip or tar like:

myproject.zip
  --myproject.jar
  --META-INF (with the whole classpath and may be the auto-start class)
  --libs
    --slf4j.jar
    --logback.jar
    --hibernate.jar
    --and many, many more.

Any ideas? TIA!

If you use Spring you can use Spring Boot which does this by default. By using Spring Boot maven plugin it will build you a uber jar containing all your dependencies and an embed tomcat or jetty.
