Until you build a project described in scala with Maven and execute it with the scala command.

Maven -scala run-

Since I had the opportunity to use maven for the first time, I will summarize the places where I got caught. See https://kengotoda.gitbooks.io/what-is-maven/primer/ for what maven itself looks like I got a rough image by reading. This article describes the procedure for achieving the following objectives.

1. Create a project containing scala code
2. Settings for executing scala code in maven
3. Generating and executing a jar file containing dependencies

The environment is ApacheMave:3.5.0 java:1.8.0 scala:2.11.6

Project creation

$ mvn archetype:generate
Choose a number or apply filter : scala
# 7: remote -> net.alchim31.maven:scala-archetype-Check simple
Choose a number or apply filter : 7
Choose a number : 3
Define value for property 'groupId': project.test
Define value for property 'artifactId': mavenTest
Define value for property 'version' 1.0-SNAPSHOT: [Enter]
Define value for property 'package' project.test: [Enter]
Y: [Enter]

This will create a mavenTest folder.

$ tree mavenTest
mavenTest/
├── pom.xml
└── src
    ├── main
    │   └── scala
    │       └── project
    │           └── test
    │               └── App.scala
    └── test
        └── scala
            └── samples
                ├── junit.scala
                ├── scalatest.scala
                └── specs.scala

Settings to run

If you compile as it is,

$ cd mavenTest
$ mvn compile
...
[ERROR] scalac error: bad option: '-make:transitive'
[INFO]   scalac -help  gives more information
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE

[INFO] Final Memory: 11M/300M
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal net.alchim31.maven:scala-maven-plugin:3.2.0:compi
...

Error appears. Therefore, edit pom.xml as follows.

pom.xml

<!--Delete this line-->
     <arg>-make:transitive</arg>

Then the compilation is successful, so execute it. Then I get the following error:

$ mvn scala:run
...
[ERROR] /home/yoshiki/xgboost/jvm-packages/project/mavenTest/src/test/scala/samples/specs.scala:18: error: not found: type JUnitRunner

Apparently it was moss to build the test code. Therefore, change pom.xml as follows.

By the way, mvn compile and mvn scala: run compile and scala: run specify the execution goal, so

mvn scala: run includes mvn compile operations. So, in reality, you only need to execute mvn scala: run.

pom.xml

  <dependencies>
    ...
    <!-- JUnitRunner -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.specs2</groupId>
        <artifactId>specs2-junit_${scala.compat.version}</artifactId>
        <!--version is before and after specs2-Match with core etc.-->
        <version>2.4.16</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <!----------------->
    ...
  </dependencies>

Run

$ mvn scala:run

[WARNING] warning: there was one deprecation warning; re-run with -deprecation for details
[WARNING] one warning found

Since there is no main class, specify it in scala-maven-plugin. (Reference: http://qiita.com/motokazu/items/57540c80509d83c6a168)

pom.xml

When mvn scala: run is executed,'Hello world!' Is output safely. Next, add the library you want to use freely to the dependencies of pom.xml. If xgboost,

pom.xml

<dependency>
  <groupId>ml.dmlc</groupId>
  <artifactId>xgboost4j</artifactId>
  <version>0.7</version>
</dependency>

Add it like that. (To actually use xgboost, you have to mvn install in advance according to the official procedure)

I just want to do it

mvn scala: run compiles and executes the application, but it even compiles without permission. If you just want to run it, you first need to generate a jar file containing the dependent libraries. for that reason Add maven-assembly-plugin to pom.xml.

pom.xml

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <descriptorRefs>
      <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
    </descriptorRefs>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Run

$ ls target
archive-tmp                  maven-status                                      test-classes

classes.936127338.timestamp  mavenTest-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar

$ scala -cp target/mavenTest-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar project.test.App
Hello World!
