I am working in Java Maven project. There is a .bat file in the root of the project which invokes a Java class with some arguments something like this:

java my.package.MyClass abc hi 1

Now, my project jar is built in the target directory of that project when I do mvn clean install. When I run that .bat file it gives me the below error

Error: Could not find or load main class my.package.MyClass

Project's pom.xml only contains jars as dependency.

Do I need to do something in pom.xml to make it work?

  • Can you show your pom file and the folder layout you are using? And how the .bat file looks like? Commented May 30, 2014 at 9:29

please provide your pom.xml so we can look for it, anyway,

do you use maven-jar-plugin?

something like this

<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4</version> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix> <mainClass>your.main.class.package.ClassName</mainClass> // your main class </manifest> </archive> </configuration> </plugin>

and try to run your *.jar with command java -jar yourjar.jar
