---------------------------------------------

With respect, the internet is full of explanations of how to run JAR files, e.g.:

java -cp jarFileName.jar full.package.className

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4306
>             Project: NetBeans
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 11.2
>         Environment: Win 10 Pro on 64bit HP laptop (intel), OpenJDK 8, 11 (Zulu) using 11 as platform targeting 8 to run
>            Reporter: Jack Copper
>            Priority: Major
>              Labels: build, clean, maven
>
> The jar file created by clean build (right-click on project, select clean build) does not create a proper jar file with manifest that can be run outside of the IDE.
> This seems to me to be a fundamental element of developing applications. How can it not work out of the box?
> Create a simple HelloWorld as a Maven Project. Add a Main class. Add System.out.println("Hello World"); to the main class.
> Clean and Build.
> Copy the resulting jar from ../target folder to any other folder.
> Open a command window, CD to folder, type the usual java ...
> (I can't type the command because this bizarre editor starts striking through characters).
> Java complains there is no manifest in the jar file.
> With respect, I use an IDE precisely to avoid having to deal with maven for basic things like a deployable jar file. I have used NetBeans for years, with default Ant builds, I did not expect this aggravation starting a new simple maven project.
