I'm sorry to sound ignorant here, but I'm new to Maven, and have been banging my head against something that I'm sure is quite simple.

The docs say:

[...] a project could produce a ZIP assembly which contains a project's JAR artifact in the root directory, the runtime dependencies in a lib/ directory, and a shell script to launch a stand-alone application.

which is exactly what I want to do! But I can't seem to make it happen.

My POM is as follows:

<project>
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
   <groupId>com.anearalone</groupId>
   <artifactId>myapp</artifactId>
   <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
   <packaging>jar</packaging>
   [...]
   <build>
      <finalName>myapp</finalName>
      <plugins>
         <plugin>
         <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
         <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>2.2.1</version>
         <executions>
            <execution>
               <id>make-assembly</id>
               <phase>package</phase>
               <goals>
                  <goal>single</goal>
               </goals>
               <configuration>
                  <descriptors>
                     <descriptor>src/main/assemble/dist.xml</descriptor>
                  </descriptors>
                  <archive>
                     <manifest>
                        <mainClass>com.anearalone.myapp.CLI</mainClass>
                        <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                        <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
