running class files compiled with maven
Is there a way to run individual class files with help from maven. For
instance I want to run the main method in one of my classes but the
best I can do is use the java command from my jvm and add all my
libraries inside ~/.m2/repository to the classpath by hand. Can maven
automate this? I know I can make a .jar with dependencies and a main
class, but that isn't very convenient for development.
Thanks,
Frank

The exec-maven-plugin might be helpful, especially the "java" goal:

I do use eclipse, but it's not very handy to rely on an IDE in some
cases. For instance, say you hand in an assignment built with maven -
you can't really assume your lecturer is using eclipse.
On my last handin I only had two deliverables, so I could split my
project in to a hierarchical project with two artifacts (one console
app in a jar + deps and one webapp war). However, if there had been
more minor console programs to deliver it would have been silly to
make more subprojects. The project would needlessly look more complex
to an outsider and handling dependencies would have been more tricky.
So, in this case I was wondering if maven had a mechanism for running
individual class files without the bureaucracy of making another
artifact.
Thanks,
Frank

Development? Are you using an IDE?
If yes, see "q4e" or "m2eclipse" for Eclipse, or the Maven eclipse plugin,
or mevenide for NetBeans.
