This tutorial will show you how to run a basic Java Maven project on the command line (as opposed to on an IDE).
You can read the written version of this tutorial on sohamkamani.com/java/cli-app-with-maven/
We will learn how to run maven commands that create a new maven project,
package and execute your Java code from an executable JAR file,
run unit tests for your code, and add external dependencies to your project.
All of these tasks will be done on the command line, so that you can have a better idea on what’s going on under the hood, and how you can run a Java application without needing an IDE like Eclipse or IntelliJ.
