Error executing jar file with maven dependencies. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/opengis/feature/type/Name

I'm exporting my java app into a single JAR file but when I try to execute it I always get the same error.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/opengis/feature/type/Name
Apparently there is something wrong including the opengis dependencies.
I am using the shade plugin and the mvn package command to generate the JAR file.
Here I include my pom.xml:

I would really appreciate any help/suggestion. I've been stack at this point for quite a long time but still not getting any solution.

You should avoid the maven assembly plugin as it will cause you issues in the future. GeoTools modules often define one or more files in its META-INF/services directory with the same names as files defined in other modules. The assembly plugin just copies files with the same name over the top of each other rather than merging their contents.
The good news is that the Maven shade plugin can be used instead and it will correctly merge the META-INF/services files from each of the GeoTools modules used by your application.
See the FAQ for more details.
And finally, please use a stable release unless you are explicitly testing the release candidate for us (22-RC for example, became useless on the release of 22.0).

I've added this assembly plugin:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>exe.Main</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
But is still not working
**SOLVED: **
I just had to add <sourceDirectory>src/com/foobar</sourceDirectory> to <build> and execute the mvn clean compile assembly:single command.

There is another plugin if you want to build your entire app to a single jar: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/
Maven assembly also support various type of packaging. You can consider using this if you cannot find a way to fix your current problem.

How to properly build a Spring Boot far jar using maven plugin?

I'm trying to use maven-assembly-plugin to build an all-inclusive fat jar of my Spring Boot app.
I run mvn clean package, no jars are created.
What am I doing wrong?

To build a JAR that contains all what is required to start the Spring Boot application, the most simple way is relying on the repackage goal of the
spring-boot-maven-plugin.
Of course you could do the same thing "at the hand" (with the maven-shade-plugin for example) but it may be error prone and is it really required in your case ?
So here is the needed configuration in the pom.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<!-- ... -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5.9.RELEASE</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
repackage is bound to the package phase and will so be executed after the default package task.
So running this command will do the job:
mvn package
Note that you may also create the executable JAR of the application
without including the repackage execution in the pom.xml by specifying the goal from the command line :
mvn package spring-boot:repackage

Error: Could not find or load main class Spring Boot application

I have a Spring Boot application and I can't figure out why I am getting this "Error: Could not find or load main class com.example....".
I am only getting this problem with the jar file, packaged with maven, which is including all dependencies. The jar file without dependencies is working just fine, as the whole project in STS. I have read this question (What does "Could not find or load main class" mean?) and all the linked articles and it still is above my head. I did everything suggested and in the end it still threw the same error. I do have now Main-Class: com.fully.qualified.name in my MANIFEST.MF in the created jar.
I might have a classpath issue as I feel from that article, as when I included the <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> in the maven plugin, I got some 150+ dependency jar files as Class-Path in my MANIFEST.MF file. These jar files are also in my jar\Boot-INF\lib, whereas my code files are in jar\BOOT-INF\classes. Do you think it has something to do with it and how can I solve this?

Java command: java -jar example-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
java -jar example-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar works just fine.
Thanks.

pom.xml: Unrecognised tag: 'soapuiProperties'

I am using Cucumber in a Maven project in Eclipse to launch SoapUI.
My POM.xml file works quite well when running from within Eclipse, the test completes with no errors.
However, when I launch from the command line with "mvn test" I get this error:
pom.xml: Unrecognised tag: 'soapuiProperties' (position: START_TAG seen ...\r\n \r\n ..
Here is the POM.xml

Any idea how I need to fix the POM ? I tried moving the SoapUIproperties block into and out of the pluginrepsositories block, but there result is the same.

The error
pom.xml: Unrecognised tag: 'soapuiProperties' (position: START_TAG seen ...\r\n \r\n ..
means that you've malformed POM file (pom.xml). In other words you have placed soapuiProperties tag in the wrong place.
You need to move soapuiProperties to build/plugins/plugin/configuration for soapui-maven-plugin. So here is the snippet of how correct pom.xml should look like:
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>smartbear-sweden-plugin-repository</id>
<url>http://www.soapui.org/repository/maven2/</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.smartbear.soapui</groupId>
<artifactId>soapui-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>5.2.1</version>
<configuration>
<projectFile>soapui-tests.xml</projectFile>
<soapuiProperties>
<property>
<name>soapui.logroot</name>
<value>${project.build.directory}/soapui-logs/</value>
</property>
</soapuiProperties>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>

The soapuiProperties is not a valid child of the pluginRepository element.
The pluginRepositories section declares where maven will attempt to find and download plugins from.
It does not appear that you are making use of the SoapUI plugin so you can probably remove the pluginRepositories section.
The placement of the soapuiProperties suggests that it is not being used by the test so you can probably remove it.

Custom Maven plugin hosting and prefix resolution

I've wrote my own custom Maven plugin and uploaded it to my Archiva server. It works fine with the full name specified:
mvn com.mjolnirr:maven-plugin:manifest
But when I want to do it via the prefix, it fails:
mvn mjolnirr:manifest
[ERROR] No plugin found for prefix 'mjolnirr' in the current project and in the plugin groups [org.apache.maven.plugins, org.codehaus.mojo] available from the repositories [local (/home/sk_/.m2/repository), mjolnirr (http://mjolnirr.dyndns.org/archiva/repository/plugins), central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)] -> [Help 1]

It looks like I have to put some definition into my repository. Can you help me?
ADD I've discovered that maven trying to download maven-metadata.xml from org/apache/maven/plugins. Is it possible to change this path in the project POM, without changing the maven settings?

Only plugins with a groupId of org.apache.maven.plugins will be searched by default.
To get Maven to search additional groupIds for plugins, additional plugin groups can be configured in each user's settings.xml file, e.g.:
<pluginGroups>
<pluginGroup>org.mortbay.jetty</pluginGroup>
<pluginGroup>org.apache.tomcat.maven</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>
More information on this in the Maven plugin guide.
