In a project where I use the scala language, with sbt can launch directly from the terminal the command: 

sbt run

Now I switched to use java with maven. If I try to run in the terminal: 

mvn run

the command does not work. The error is:

[ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase "run" ...

There is an alternative way to do it? Thanks a lot.

    You don't have to switch to maven when developing in Java. sbt can do the job very well. Just place your `.java` files under `src/main/java` and give `run` a go! You don't even have to have `build.sbt` in a project to use sbt provided the project follows the standard project structure with `src/main/{scala|java}`. – Jacek Laskowski Sep 25 '14 at 18:05
  • wow.. great! I thought that sbt ​​is used only with scala. this is very useful! thank you – user3676015 Sep 25 '14 at 18:12

Use the maven exec plugin.

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.Main" [-Dexec.args="argument1"] ...

You can configure the plugin in your pom.xml to set what the default main class and default arguments should be.
