Correction to my previous post: I realize now that the problem
described below is actually caused by my helper script changing into
the ModuleB directory before running the command below, which would
understandably cause the problem described.
HOWEVER, I am still having a problem, which is actually best described
in this post:
http://www.nabble.com/Maven-exec:java-ClassNotFoundException-td15613520s177.html
Is there a solution to this? It sounds like if the class is not found,
we'd like the plugin to not fail, but keep running, to allow the
plugin to try again on the sub-modules. Is that possible?

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the exec-maven-plugin. I've got
a project setup with two sub-modules, and when I run the exec plugin
on a main class that is in one module that depends on another, I get
an error that the dependancy module is not in the repository. I
don't want to have to install the project just to exec it, and unit
testing works with dependancies without installing, so I'm a bit
puzzled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a more concrete example:
MyProj
+-----------ModuleA
+-----------ModuleB
ModuleB depends on ModuleA and has a class with a main function.
If I run "mvn compile exec:java -
Dexec.mainClass="MyProj.ModuleB.MyClass"

Missing:
----------
1) MyProj:ModuleA.jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
Then, install it using the command:
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=MyProj -DartifactId=ModuleA -
Dversion=1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the
file there:
mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=MyProj -DartifactId=ModuleA -
Dversion=1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url]
-DrepositoryId=[id]
Path to dependency:
1) MyProj:ModuleA.jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
2) MyProj:ModuleB.jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
