I'm not sure if I'm off in left field by asking this. I am porting an ant build to a maven build. I have a test that I run using a main() call. It is not possible to place it within the confinements of a junit test. So, it does not get executed as a unit test. However, it is still a unit test that I must run. Is it possible to run a main class during a build for testing purposes? How do you execute a java class? Do I have to create a goal in my maven.xml that uses the ant java tag?

I've just checked the repository and I couldn't find one. Currently I define the following plugin in my pom: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <mainClass>Server</mainClass> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> and would like to do something like this to run the app: m2 java:java but at the moment I have to do this: java -jar file://<myrepository>/<myartifact>/myapp.jar In fact I'd ideally like to run the app immediately after the install: m2 install java:java Thanks AW --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
