This may be a simple Java ClassNotFoundException rather than Maven but I can't spot it.

Thank you for any help.

I'm following 'Maven - The Definitive Guide' page 54.

You are using the Exec plugin. You need to post the entire definition of that plugin from your pom.xml file (Maven - The Definitive Guide, page 54, doesn't show the Exec plugin being used). Apparently, you didn't set the classpath, or you used the wrong target (you should be using exec:java, not exec:exec).

Also, "The Definitive Guide" has be superceeded by "The Complete Reference": http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/

Never set CLASSPATH, that's a sure way to get yourself into trouble because you will at some point accidentally pick up the wrong class file. Besides, you should not have to do that when using Maven.
