Note that maven2 is a project management/build tool, not a generic execution environment, so plugins like these don't belong there (for now, at least :)) But I agree it would be easy if jar:execute worked too. ;) > On Sep 19, 2005, at 5:58 PM, Ashley Williams wrote: > > > Is there currently a java plugin for running regular main() apps? > > I've just checked the repository and I couldn't find one.
