The Execute plugin was created for that. You will find it in mojo-sandbox.

http://mojo.codehaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/introduction.html

    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>myexecution</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
        <configuration>
          <executable>java</executable>
          <arguments>
            <argument>-Dmyproperty=myvalue</argument>
            <argument>-classpath</argument>
            <classpath/> <!-- automatically creates the classpath
using all project dependencies -->
            <argument>mypackage.MyClass</argument>
            ...
          </arguments>
        </configuration>
