Running application from Maven

[Marco Bakera <ma...@uni-dortmund.de>]

Hey everybody,

What is the preferred way of running an application from Maven? It would be 
very nice to have the specified (runtime) dependencies at hand such that 
there is no need for further configuration of the classpath.

I found the exec-plugin from codehaus but don't know whether that is the 
intended way of doing.

Thanks for any suggestions.


Greetings from Germany,
Marco.

You can also use the ant <exec> task from the ant run plugin.

Depends on what you're trying to do. If you want to run some class or
tool as part of the build process then I'd use the exec plugin.

If you are looking for an easy way to build your app with all
dependencies have a look at mojo's appassembler plugin.
