After converting Maven based to Jar Based application it stopped working

Question

I converted my Maven based Java application to Jar based Java application, removed the pom.xml, downloaded all jar files and put them in lib directory; However, I cannot running it anymore.

From top to down I have,

JAX-WS Web Services
Java Resources > src
               > Libraries
JavaScript Resources
build
target > All JSPs are here
       >META-INF
WebContent > WEB-INF > lib
           applicationContext.xml
           beans.xml
           tiles.xml
           web.xml

Error

As the error shows it seems it cannot find SpringApplicationContext, this file is located in WebContent > Web-INF > applicationContext.xml

you're problem is ClassNotFound error - your libraries are missing some needed dependency, please check what libraries your jar contains? — Mysterion, Jan 27 '15 at 20:44
@Jack - `ApplicationContextException` is a class file. It is not referring to the XML. the class file is located in `spring-context-xxx.jar` As Mysterion mentioned, you are probably missing several dependencies that Maven automatically took care of. — Ascalonian, Jan 27 '15 at 20:54
@Mysterion the reason is the server that I want to deploy the project on it does not support Maven based projects. — Jack, Jan 28 '15 at 00:10
Maven generates standardized Java artifacts like war, jar, ear. There is no way your server is not supporting them. — Stefan, Jan 28 '15 at 07:51

You forgot your spring context dependency.

Just run mvn dependecy:copy-dependencies to fetch 'em all.

But wait... I guess you have to revert your project first to go back to maven.

Maybe what you really wanted was the assembly plugin. Another question about the setup can be found here.

in eclipse, goto Run -> Run Configurations and double click on the tree item "Maven Build". Select you base directory and type `dependency:copy-dependecies` into the "Goals:" field. Eventually, you have to select the proper java runtime environment under the tab "JRE". Press "Apply" to save and "Run" to launch. – Hannes Jan 28 '15 at 07:16
