I am trying to run a simple maven project from the mac terminal. Here is my pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.example</groupId>
<artifactId>HelloWorld</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<properties>
<maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<!-- here we specify that we want to use the main method within the Controller class -->
<mainClass>com.helloworld.Countries</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.googlecode.json-simple/json-simple -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.googlecode.json-simple</groupId>
<artifactId>json-simple</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
I did maven package. and when I try to run:
java -jar target/HelloWorld-1.0.jar
… I get this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/json/simple/JSONValue
Is the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
only on macOS? I did the same project on Windows and it works fine.
Is there anyway that we can make this independent of OS?

Solution was to use Maven-shade-plugin. Here is my final POM.
