Just wondering why the controversy. Is it about where to best place
the task, or even whether it belongs in maven at all?

hi,
I was the one that cobbled that maven-execute-plugin together in
the sandbox
that you are referring too..
there is some discussion on irc around it...
my general feeling on it, and the reason I created it in the first
place was
that it was a great (and simple) way to have m2 manage the classpath
automatically for me. the idea behind the maven-execute-plugin
might not be
the best way about going it really. However, there are a number of
ways to
skin this cat..
I am not sure about going too far down this path since some of the
m2 devs
are _really_ not hot on this idea atm :) The best thing might be to
get a
bit of further comment on ths subject from kenney and trygvis..and
maybe
brett if he sees this.. If they have a solution they are happy with
then
I'll certainly put it together if it doesn't already exist in some
form...I
use this plugin in its current state all the time for running
little one off
programs I don't want to mess about with classpaths for.
btw, execute:jar shouldn't be too bad...though it might be that if
this
plugin lives on then it ought to be renamed...it doesn't exec perl
afterall.

You could file a JIRA issue for that plugin to request a
'execute:jar' goal that executes the jar if it is an auto-executable
jar (i.e. it's manifest has a Main-Class entry).
Done. http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MOJO-34
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 :))
Noted =)

But I agree it would be easy if jar:execute worked too. ;)

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" =)
