I've just started standard Maven -> Java Application in Netbeans 7.4. It created "App" class (which has main method) by default. I also went to project's Properties->Run and set that class as a Main Class. I then built the project.
In the project's directory, I got the "target" folder with a couple of jars inside. None of them is the executable one. How do I simply fix the problem and get the executable jar at the end of each build?
thanks.
This may be a little lack of integration between Netbeans and Maven.
Doing "Properties->Run and set that Main Class" in the IDE doesn't make Maven to set the main class in the MANIFEST.MF
of the generated jar: you have to explicitly say to Maven which is the main class by adding the <mainClass>
tag to the configuration
of the maven-jar-plugin
.
For example if your pom.xml
were:
<project
xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.taringamberini</groupId>
<artifactId>AppTest</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>com.taringamberini.apptest.App</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
than in the target
directory you would find the AppTest-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
, and you should be able to run:
AppTest/target$java -jar AppTest-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
