Guillaume, could you please double-check the example once again? I am afraid you seem to refer to a different example. Here's is the sample app: https://github.com/vlsi/jarsplit/blob/b7dae3f1609b978e1a33ffa63d717bc66e45daa5/app-maven4/pom.xml I quoted the link, and Tamás quoted the same link, however, it seems you refer to a different one somehow. >For the reproducer, there are multiple ways to fix the problem: >* explicitly define the version in the pom to 5.0.1. -> 5.0.1 will be used Guillaume, I don't understand why you mention 5.x versions. The example does not use 5.x. The application includes no other pom files. Please clarify how the Maven team suggests fixing NoClassDefFoundError in the runtime. Vladimir
