ClassNotFoundException in spark-sbumit for scala code

Question

When i export the program into a jar file and execute it i get an java.lang.ClassNotFoundException error.

the code i'm using is below.

Thanks in advance for any assistance

SBT

name := "testFunctions"

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.11.8"

libraryDependencies += "com.github.pathikrit" %% "better-files" % "2.17.1"
libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "org.apache.spark" % "spark-core_2.11" % "2.1.0",
  "org.apache.spark" % "spark-sql_2.11" % "2.1.0",
  "com.github.pathikrit" %% "better-files" % "2.17.1"
)

initialize := {
  val _ = initialize.value
  if (sys.props("java.specification.version") != "1.8")
    sys.error("Java 8 is required for this project.")
}

Scala Code

/**
  * Created by cloudera on 7/23/17.
  */

import better.files.File._
import org.apache.spark.sql.SparkSession


object func {


  val forDelete = (root/"/home/cloudera/Documents/fabo")
    .createIfNotExists()

  if (forDelete.exists)
    forDelete.delete()


  def main(args:Array[String]) : Unit = {

    val spark = SparkSession.builder
      .master("local")
      .appName("Get ForEx Data")
      .getOrCreate()



  }

}

Command line executing jar file

spark-submit --class func --master local[*] /home/cloudera/testFunctions/out/artifacts/testFunctions_jar

** The Tree structure where the code live looks like below ** - so the class called func lives in the scala directory

\main
    \java
    \resources
    \scala
        -func(class)
    \scala-2.11
