Exec-maven-plugin usage

[Vishal Pahwa <vp...@sapient.com>]

Hi

I need to run a java program from maven. For that m gonna use
exec-maven-plugin.  But don't know how to use this. Is it possible that
I will create one new project with folder structure
src/main/java/com/sky/Main.java. N then use plugin like this 

  <build> 
<plugins> 
<plugin> 
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> 
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId> 
<executions> <execution>
 ... <goals> 
<goal>java</goal> 
</goals> 
</execution>
 </executions> 
<configuration>
 <mainClass>com.sky.Main</mainClass>
 <arguments> 
<argument>argument1</argument> 
... </arguments> 
<systemProperties>
 <systemProperty>
 <key>myproperty</key>
 <value>myvalue</value> 
</systemProperty> 
... </configuration> 
</plugin>
 </plugins>
 </build> 

Now if il use mvn:java then this should run the java program. Am I
thinking right or wrong.

Regards
Vishal

Looks good. What was the actual question?

Bear in mind that if you want to run classes that are compiled in the
same project, the <goal> you bind to must be after compile in the
lifecylcle, after all the class must have been compiled before you can
use it :-)
