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

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 ?
