A test project to learn Maven

Generating the jar

• Install the 'apache.maven.plugins.jar.plugin'

• Inside pom.xml, add :

  <build>
      <plugins>
          <plugin>
          <!-- Build an executable JAR -->
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
          <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>3.3.0</version>
          <configuration>
              <archive>
              <manifest>
                  <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                  <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
                  <mainClass>org.example.FirstBank</mainClass>
              </manifest>
          </archive>
          </configuration>
          </plugin>
      </plugins>
  </build>
  

  <mainClass> attribue is the most imporant one.

• Generate jar using the Maven menu -> package

• Using a latest java.exe executable, run the jar -> ./java.exe -jar <jar_file.jar>
