You can use maven-assembly-plugin to do that task.

Create an assembly definition file in src/assembly/distribution.xml

    distribution
    
        tar
    
    
        
            ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}
        
    
    
        
            ${project.build.directory}/lib
            lib
        
    

In pom.xml file, add plugin declare, execution phase and goal for it.

    maven-assembly-plugin
    2.5.5
    
        ${project.basedir}/src/assembly/distribution.xml
    
    
        
            make-assembly
            package
            
                single
