how to set pom.xml to run main class in maven project in netbeans

Question

May I ask what I should do to run main class in a maven project created in Netbeans IDE? I set the pom.xml like the following, but it doesn't work.Is there any other configuration in Netbeans I should modify?

Answer 1

You can do the same in multiple ways.

• Using command line.

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.Main" -Dexec.args="arg0 arg1"

• Using exec-maven-plugin .

Answer 2

You have not configured your pom.xml to run the main class .Also , you can configure more than one main class to execute from the main class.
