Hi Michael,

Yep, it did build successfully.

Maven is primarily a build tool. It puts the correct JARs on your classpath
at compile time. In your case, that is scifio-0.17.1.jar and its
dependencies.

However, the way you are launching your program is not putting the required
dependencies on the classpath. You put only my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar on the
classpath, and its dependencies are missing. So of course Java cannot find
the needed classes.

The gist is: it is your responsibility to assemble the dependencies and
ensure they are on the classpath somehow when you launch your application.

There are several ways to accomplish this. Here is one generally useful way
using Maven, which does not assume you are doing anything ImageJ-related:

    $ mvn dependency:copy-dependencies
    $ java -cp 'target/my-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:target/dependency/*'
com.mycompany.app.App

The "copy-dependencies" goal copies all the JAR files needed by your
program into the target/dependency folder, for easy subsequent consumption.

Alternately, the "ImageJ way" of dealing with deployment is to ship all
needed dependencies in the "jars" folder of your ImageJ application. We
created a Maven goal for this too, which you can use as follows:

    $ mvn -Dimagej.app.directory=/Applications/ImageJ.app
-Ddelete.other.versions=true

Which will copy your JAR and its dependencies into your ImageJ installation
at /Applications/ImageJ.app. But note that in order for this goal to work,
you must extend the pom-imagej parent (see
https://github.com/imagej/minimal-ij1-plugin for an example).

A third solution is to use the exec-maven-plugin to launch your application
directly using Maven. E.g.:
https://github.com/imagej/imagej/blob/imagej-2.0.0-rc-17/pom.xml#L255-L278

Regards,
Curtis
