do both jar files exist with the names you used?
is your current directory the root of the project?
Could there be a hidden text in what you typed? (Happens to me
sometimes, that I use an arrow key and then filenames no longer work)
Does the class exist in the jar? To check this:

Well...it compiled. The only thing I can think of is that I rebooted my local
computer and therefore had to establish a brand new SSH session to the server
this morning. So maybe some sort of environment related issue?
Regardless, now I'm trying to figure out how to run the generated JAR file:
java -jar examples/target/pdfbox-examples-2.0.21.jar PrintTextLocations
========================================================================
no main manifest attribute, in examples/target/pdfbox-examples-2.0.21.jar

Yeah that sounds pretty up-to-date, although maven is now at 3.6.3.
Another thing you can try is to open the "parent/pom.xml", find this segment
<!-- enable these when getting
CompilationFailureException without explanation: -->
<!--
<compilerArgument>-verbose</compilerArgument>
<verbose>true</verbose>
-->
and enable the disabled two lines and then see what happens.

I'm not sure how to do that as I'm running with the latest Ubuntu package

Hi,
Try updating your jdk... also maven itself.
But you can also create a (new) ordinary maven project, use the example
code (PrintTextLocations) you mentioned as main, and use pdfbox
dependencies in the pom without having to build the whole project.

Downloaded PDFBox 2.0.21 source code from the website to an Ubuntu Server LTS 18.04.2 server,
extracted it, ran 'mvn clean install', and got errors. "Insanity is doing the same thing over
and over again and expecting a different result" but in this case, repeating the same, exact
command eventually started pulling down packages from Maven. First, it was failure to connect to
Maven sources which magically corrected themselves after a while but still broke at least two more
times. Re-running the same 'mvn clean install' command repeatedly eventually "fixed" the
problem. Then I ran into this:

Both the -e and -X options to mvn resulted in nonsensical output. Tried various
things without any difference in the outcome. All I really want is the
precompiled 'examples' JARs. Specifically, the
'examples/util/PrintTextLocations' example because the precompiled pdfbox CLI
tool doesn't have an option to dump character location information within the
ExtractText option but the PrintTextLocations example code does! I just need to
be able to parse character locations from stdin in my language of choice and I
don't want to try parsing PDFs myself if there are already tools that can do
that.
