Can not execute the JAR build with maven

Hi all

I’ve created a Maven project, that is using Kotlin as the main language.
The content of the POM.xml file looks as the following:

<?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"

The file structure looks as the following:

After the packaging, I carried out the JAR file and got the following error message:

/kotlin/simplekotlin/target$ java -jar simplekotlin-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: kotlin/jvm/internal/Intrinsics
        at com.sweetsoft.AppKt.main(App.kt)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics
        at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:583)
        at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:178)
        at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:521)
        ... 1 more

The content of the App.kt file looks as the follwing:

package com.sweetsoft

fun main(args : Array<String>) {
    println("Hello, world!")
}

Thanks

I have no idea how to use mavens xml files but from the error message it looks like the standard library is not bundled into your jar. You need to either create a fat jar or supply the standard library along with yours. Not sure how to do that with maven though.
Also I suggest you switch to gradle (if you are not forced to use maven). Kotlin has far better support for it (I think multiplatform only works with gradle) and you can write your build files in kotlin. Also I think you will get help much faster when you use it as most kotlin projects use it. And let’s be honest, it’s much easier to read and understand a gradle build file compared to a maven.
