Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo

Question

I created a maven project using Netbeans , and getting below error while running the application.

Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec (default-cli) on project spring_l1: Command execution failed. Process exited with an error: 1 (Exit value: 1) -> [Help 1]

To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch. Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

Most likely you just need to scroll up from that error.

I just put something in a java file so it wouldn't compile and then tried to run it and got this:

--- exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec (default-cli) @ mavenproject3 ---
Error: Could not find or load main class wshackle.mavenproject3.Test1

The entire error you pasted is really generic and will get printed for almost any error. But if you scrolled up you can see that in my case I have a BUILD FAILURE. To see what the error was in my case, I would rebuild (Shift F11). This is probably a good idea often when there are run errors.
