=========================== Running the client examples =========================== Use maven to build the module, and additionally copy the dependencies alongside their output: mvn clean package dependency:copy-dependencies -DincludeScope=runtime -DskipTests Now you can run the examples using commands of the format: java -cp "target/classes/:target/dependency/*" org.apache.qpid.example.Hello NOTE: The earlier build command will cause Maven to resolve the client artifact dependencies against its local and remote repositories. If you wish to use a locally-built client, ensure to install it in your local maven repo first.
