Build with Maven

Following the official guide Maven in 5 Minutes:

1. Create a project named my-app:

    mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DarchetypeVersion=1.4 -DinteractiveMode=false
   

2. Change into the project directory: cd my-app

3. Build the project: mvn package

Extra exercises for labwork 1 are written in src/main/java/com/mycompany/app/ inside my-app. To launch a class named App for example, run

java -cp my-app/target/my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar com.mycompany.app.App

I find this build method to be overcomplicated for 5-minute throw-away programs and decide not to use it in the upcoming labworks.
