Running java main program using maven

Question

While running the executing the maven main class using below command:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.xoxo.amqtest.SubscriberDriver"

I assumed that all the jars must be picked up from the maven repo. But instead it throws below exception.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/xoxo/infra/protectedpkg/ProtectedPackageLoadException

This maven project runs fine in eclipse. Is there any way to specify maven to pick all the dependencies from maven repo instead of adding all the dependencies like below

java -cp ./:./target/amq-subscriber-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar:/x/home/stvu/.m2/repository/com/xoxo/submodule/infra-jsse-2.0.1.jar com.xoxo.amqtest.SubscriberDriver

Answer 1

I've done this in the past using exec-maven-plugin:

           <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.2.1</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>execute-your-main</id>
                        <phase>process-classes</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>java</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <mainClass>com.xoxo.amqtest.SubscriberDriver</mainClass>
                            <arguments>
                                <argument>ADD_YOUR_ARGUMENTS_IF_NEEDED</argument>
                            </arguments>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
            </plugin>

Answer 2

take look at appassembler plugin.

http://mojo.codehaus.org/appassembler/appassembler-maven-plugin/

Configuration will look like

<plugin>
            <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
            <artifactId>appassembler-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.6</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>assemble</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <configuration>
                <programs>
                    <program>
                        <mainClass>fun.Tester</mainClass>
                        <id>app</id>
                    </program>
                </programs>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

it will create directory name 'appassembler' in you target directory which will have all dependent jars and executable according to platform in 'bin' directory
