Question

I’ve generated classes with XMLBeans from an xsd file and packed them in a jar file. then I’ve added that jar to the project classpath in eclipse and everything compiles and runs fine.
I built a stand alone jar file from my project with Maven and again the build is successful, but when i try running it i get this error:

The missing class is in the jar i created with XmlBeans, how do i tell maven to add it to the jar it creates from my project?

Answer 1

In your generated jar file make sure you have included the class files generated from your xmlbeans.

From the stacktrace :

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: schemaorg_apache_xmlbeans.system.s8
B21CFFFCFED0B2438C2585C61F113F7.TypeSystemHolder

it suggests that during compile time the required class files are in classpath but in your built jar these files are missing.

Check your jar file to see if these classes are present.

EDIT: As per question rephrased

For building jar with dependecies in Maven use jar-with-dependencies option, example

Two very good reference :

1. http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/assemblies-sect-basics.html

2. http://thomassundberg.wordpress.com/2011/03/05/create-an-executable-jar-from-maven/

In the second one you don’t need a main class if your jar is not an executable jar
