I'm trying to create an exe file for my JAVA project using launch4j and Maven.

Here is my pom.xml

    </plugins>
   </pluginManagement>
</build>

I run : mvn clean compile assembly:single to create my jar app with all Maven dependencies.

To create the .exe I do : mvn package but nothing is created under target folder.

Am I missing a goal or a configuration ?
