I have made following changes to the POM.xml file for adding a manifest file that i have kept in \resources\META-INF But am unable to create an executable jar file.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>com.mypackage.myMainClass</mainClass>
<!--addClasspath>false</addClasspath-->
</manifest>
<manifestFile>src/main/resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Any suggestions?
use the maven-assembly-plugin.
Example:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>foo.bar.Main</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
