Some simple questions from a Maven 2.0 n00b

[Stefan Arentz <st...@gmail.com>]

My test in src/test/java cannot find classes in src/main/java. How do I tell
Maven to add those to the classpath when testing?

I have a simple project with a main() in it. The jar is succesfully created
but how do I run it? Is there a Maven shortcut?

Search Maven User archive for "jar-with-dependencies". I belive this
is what you want.

But I don't use it myself, so not 100% sure. Nor do I know the proper
pom.xml configuration... ;-)

Exactly. I also use the dependencies plugin to copy all dependent jars
to the lib dir. The finishing touch is a manual copy of this lib dir
and the built jar to the deploy dir ;-)

Note however that this won't work if you have any dependencies that
aren't on your classpath somewhere. Your jar will run but you'll error
out very quickly due to JVM failure to find classes. ;-)

Basically, there is no completely trivial way to solve this problem
that I'm aware of. But instead lots of little things you can do to
help get your project running.

You can create an "executable" jar by adding the following plugin configuration:

      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <archive>
            <manifest>
              <mainClass>your.main.clas</mainClass>
              <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
              <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
            </manifest>
          </archive>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

Ok. Is there a way to package a jar then, that I can execute with java -jar?

I was doing something stupid of course. And it does work out of the box.

Maven is a project builder, not a project runner. There is no Maven
shortcut to run your main(). I have seen some people talk about
POMstrap so Google that and maybe you'll find something.

As for your test problem, I have no idea what you're doing in your
configuration, this works properly out of the box. I assume you've
broken something in your pom.xml, or you're doing something
wacky/tricky in your tests.

Send us the relevant portions of your pom.xml and the error messages
you're seeing and we'll try to help more.
