Is there currently a java plugin for running regular main() apps?
I've just checked the repository and I couldn't find one. Currently
I define the following plugin in my pom:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>Server</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
and would like to do something like this to run the app:
m2 java:java
but at the moment I have to do this:
java -jar file://<myrepository>/<myartifact>/myapp.jar
In fact I'd ideally like to run the app immediately after the install:
m2 install java:java
Hi,
I've been thinking about the same thing. It would be nice to be able
to just run the jar file with the correct dependencies in the
classpath directly.
There's a plugin at org.codehaus.mojo called maven-execute-plugin (in
the sandbox), which does something like this (I don't know if it
currently works). From the docs: "A useful little plugin for
leveraging maven to build the required classpath to
execute the main method on an object." With an example for running it
directly (can also be configured in the POM): "m2 execute:resources -
Dexecute.class="com.foo.X" -Dexecute.args="-h bar".
For this you would need an additional plugin (execute), why not just
put this functionality into the jar plugin? So no more configuration
is needed. It might be the wrong place for it, I don't know, but it
would be nice to just write "m2 jar:run" =)
