Maven Run Project
Solution 1:
See the exec maven plugin. You can run Java classes using:
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.Main" [-Dexec.args="argument1"] ...
The invocation can be as simple as mvn exec:java
if the plugin configuration is in your pom.xml. The plugin site on Mojohaus has a more detailed example.
<project>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<configuration>
<mainClass>com.example.Main</mainClass>
<arguments>
<argument>argument1</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Solution 2:
1. Edit POM.xml
Add the following property in pom.xml
. Make sure you use the fully qualified class name (i.e. with package name) which contains the main
method:
<properties>
<exec.mainClass>fully-qualified-class-name</exec.mainClass>
</properties>
2. Run Command
Now from the terminal, trigger the following command:
mvn clean compile exec:java
NOTE You can pass further arguments via -Dexec.args="xxx"
flag.
Solution 3:
The above mentioned answers are correct but I am simplifying it for noobs like me.Go to your project's pom file. Add a new property exec.mainClass
and give its value as the class which contains your main method. For me it was DriverClass
in mainpkg
. Change it as per your project.
Having done this navigate to the folder that contains your project's pom.xml
and run this on the command prompt mvn exec:java
. This should call the main method.
