Hi All, Thanks for your help. To keep the discussion focused, the ask is how to add additional dependencies/jars to the classpath when running a program using mvn exec:java and from what i understand it is not possible.
I am using mvn dependency:build-classpath to get the full CP and then augment it with additional jars and pass it to java (instead of maven exec:java) as workaround. but that is not the question being asked.
