title: How to export NetBeans Platform Application using Maven to an executable installer?
body: <p>Update: I have found the solution and it is posted below. Original question: "How to export NetBeans Platform Application using Maven to an executable JAR?"</p>
  
  <p>I am new to desktop application development and I started learning about the NetBeans platform.</p>
  
  <p>I followed this tutorial on the NetBeans website: <a href="https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-maven-crud.html" rel="nofollow">NetBeans Platform CRUD Tutorial Using Maven</a></p>
  
  <p>The question is how do I export the completed project into an executable JAR file? There is actually 3 projects; the -app, -parent, -branding, + any additional modules you have. How do I package everything including the Java DB file into a single JAR file for easy distribution? There are instructions on how to do this using Ant, but no one has asked this question regarding Maven.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.    </p>
