Running a simple project, Maven2

[Clifton Craig <cc...@icsaward.com>]

Hello all!

Apologies for the double post but my first send went through the wrong email 
identity in my KMail client... I'm having trouble running a simmple (well 
moderately simple) project. It consists of two Groovy defined classes so far 
and Groovy source loading seems to not work for some reason. So instead I 
tried compiling using the Antrun plugin in Maven. All is well but now I wish 
to run my code (it's a simple GUI) to see what it looks like and now I have 
problems. I can create a jar using the jar plugin from the command line, "mvn 
jar:jar" but that doesnot run through all of the lifecycle phases and only 
picks up resources. I can create a jar using "mvn install" and that works ok 
but I can't seem to define a Main-Class attribute in my manifest. I've 
included my custom manifest definition (MANIFEST.MF) under 
src/main/resources/META-INF but that doesn't get included in the jar for some 
reason. Maven preferrs to generate one for me no matter what I do. I'm not 
understanding how to easily get what would be a straight foward JAva project 
to execute from the command line using Maven. In Maven 1 I'm thinking this 
would be as simple as running "maven jar run" but I'm not sure how to do the 
same here. Is there a way I can define the main class in my pom or in the 
plugin settings that I'm not aware of? please advise. Thanx in advance!
