I had looked at maven exec plugin but wasn't sure how and where to specify the jar file name, hence thanks for your responses, but I was looking at a little more info especially with jar file. With some trial and error the following worked. I had to find the main class to use from the jar file. mvn install runs the file and produces the following output:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>install</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>java</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <mainClass>org.perf4j.LogParser</mainClass>
                            <arguments>
                                <argument>InlineLogging.log</argument>
                            </arguments>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
