## Usage

There is an introductory blog post at http://skife.org/java/unix/2011/06/20/really_executable_jars.html

To use:

1. Make sure you build an "uberjar" with a main class in the MANIFEST. See the [Maven Shade plugin's documentation](https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-shade-plugin/examples/executable-jar.html) for one way of doing this. 

2. Add this plugin to your build to make the JAR directly executable. All configuration parameters are optional; the defaults should work for many cases.

```xml
