Google found another to add to your list:
  Capsule at <https://github.com/puniverse/capsule>

(Haven't used it yet.)

I don't believe Maven Assembly can be used to
create these "fat" (or "uber") jar files, and I
don't think that .war (or .ear) files can be made
to run with "java -jar" or by double-clicking.  But,
I haven't actually tried any of those solutions; I'd
love to hear from anyone who has used any of these
methods to produce a fat jar successfully.  Please
share your experiences!
