I've just created a Maven project using this command:

$ mvn archetype:generate \
      -DinteractiveMode=false \
      -DarchetypeGroupId=org.openjdk.jmh \
      -DarchetypeArtifactId=jmh-java-benchmark-archetype \
      -DgroupId=org.sample \
      -DartifactId=test \
      -Dversion=1.0

Then I do a mvn clean install followed by java -jar test-1.0.jar

The program gives me this message

no main manifest attribute, in target/test-1.0.jar

I've looked in the manifest and there's no Main-Class attribute.

This should have generated it:

  • Try with `mvn clean package` and generally, do not `install` because that puts the artifiact into your Maven cache. – Marko Topolnik Feb 05 '15 at 12:13
  • Using package has the same result (the instructions on the JMH site http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jmh/ are to use install). – Dan Feb 05 '15 at 12:18

The final output of the JMH Maven build is benchmarks.jar (the "uberjar") and the JAR you are running is just an intermediate result. So use

java -jar target/benchmarks.jar
