Maven adding mainClass in pom.xml with the right folder path

by

First, your main class doesn’t include src/main/java. Look at the package declaration in that Java file. For example, package org.jis;, then add the main class to that. In other words, it’s only org.jis.Main.

You need to configure the maven-jar-plugin instead the of the maven-compiler-plugin. The jar-plugin is the one which is responsible for packaging and creating the manifest.MF.

      <plugin>

        <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
        ...
        <configuration>
          <archive>
            <manifest>
              <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
              <mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass>
            </manifest>
          </archive>
        </configuration>
