Running / executing Maven project quickly at the command line












0















Looking at the Maven instructions:
https://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html



it says to build the target files with:



mvn package


and then to run the project, do:



java -cp target/my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.mycompany.app.App


my question is - is there not a way to quickly run the project with something like:



mvn run mycompany.app


or something like that? If we use a convention or configuration, shouldn't there be some way to use mvn to run the project? O/w, I will just create a bash script to do the jar command, because that is way too much to type out every time!

          To run a Maven project, you would use something like this at the command line:



          mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="suman.App"


          I would guess that exec:java could be a default, and that -Dexec.mainClass could also be a default, thus there is probably some way to run it like so:



          mvn exec "suman.App"


          but that is just a guess.
