Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/ObjectMapper on maven

I have one Simple maven app

this is my pom file

                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

this is what I am trying

import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

try {
URL url = new URL(uri);
ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper();
Map<String, ArrayList<Employee>> map = mapper.readValue(url, Map.class);
ArrayList emps = map.get("data");

System.out.println(emps);




}
catch (MalformedURLException e) {

    e.printStackTrace();

  } catch (IOException e) {

    e.printStackTrace();

  }

But I did mvn clean install (build success) and then java -jar target/...snapshot-0.0.1.jar

give the error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/ObjectMapper
        at telstra.ojminitiator.App.RestCall(App.java:35)

You are using maven-jar-plugin to create a jar-with-dependencies.

I think you want to use maven-assembly-plugin instead.

In order to do this, change

<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>

to

<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>

You may also need to add the execution to the plugin (as pointed out in the comments):

<executions>
  <execution>
    <id>make-assembly</id> <!-- this is used for inheritance merges -->
    <phase>package</phase> <!-- bind to the packaging phase -->
    <goals>
       <goal>single</goal>
    </goals>
  </execution>
</executions>

By the way, you may want to use use package instead of install.

Also execute the jar-with-dependencies and not the "normal" jar:

java -jar target/myApp-jar-with-dependencies.jar
