How to run?

From the CLI use mvn org.zcore.maven:merge-maven-plugin:merge, but within the POM it can be easily connected to a phase (most common would be package):

<plugin>
 …
 <executions>
  <execution>
   <id>merge-files</id>
   <phase>package</phase>
   <goals>
    <goal>merge</goal>
   </goals>
  </execution>
 </executions>
</plugin>
