How to Configure pom.xml to run 2 java mains in 1 Maven project

Question

I have a Maven project and it has 2 mains (MyTestApp_A, and MyTestApp_B) inside one of the packages from the src folder.

I can run these \"main\" classes in Eclipse

Try using executions for each main class you want to execute:

<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.1</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <id>MyTestApp_A</id>
                <goals>
                    <goal>java</goal>
                </goals>
                <configuration>
                    <mainClass>servers.MyTestApp_A</mainClass>
                    <includePluginDependencies>false</includePluginDependencies>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
            <execution>
                <id>MyTestApp_B</id>
                <goals>
                    <goal>java</goal>
                </goals>
                <configuration>
                    <mainClass>servers.MyTestApp_B</mainClass>
                    <includePluginDependencies>false</includePluginDependencies>
                </configuration>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>
</plugins>
