javajarjsoup

keep getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError with maven

I try to run a jar file, but without success. I know, that there are another answers, but I cannot understand, why with my IDE it runs perfectly but from a jar file not.

How can I change the dependency path? can use for it my ide? My code you can find bellow:

Solution

  • ok, although I am not sure how this magic happens, I will try to explain myself.
    The only think that I needed to is make a fat jar.
    There are apparently a lot of ways to do that : look up here

    So, here I just added another plugin:

    <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>single</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <archive>
                                <manifest>
                                    <mainClass>Main</mainClass>
                                </manifest>
                            </archive>
                            <descriptorRefs>
                                <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
                            </descriptorRefs>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
