Hi, I have an IntelliJ project that has multiple classes with main() functions. I want to package this project as a JAR that I can submit to the Flink cluster and specify the entry class when I start the job. Here are my questions:
- I am not really familiar with Maven and would appreciate some pointers/examples. From what I understand, I will need to use some sort of transformer in the Maven shade plugin to merge all of the classes. *If this is correct, can I see a small example? * - Also, I can't get a single main class working: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>flink_summarization</groupId> <artifactId>flink_summarization</artifactId> <version>0.1</version> <packaging>jar</packaging> <name>Flink Quickstart Job</name> <url>http://www.myorganization.org</url> <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> <flink.version>1.10.1</flink.version> <java.version>1.8</java.version> <scala.binary.version>2.11</scala.binary.version> <maven.compiler.source>${java.version}</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>${java.version}</maven.compiler.target> </properties> <repositories> <repository> <id>apache.snapshots</id> <name>Apache Development Snapshot Repository</name> <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/</url> <releases> <enabled>false</enabled> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> </repositories> <dependencies> <!-- Apache Flink dependencies --> <!-- These dependencies are provided, because they should not be packaged into the JAR file. --> <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.flink/flink-jdbc --> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-java</artifactId> <version>${flink.version}</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-streaming-java_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId> <version>${flink.version}</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-connector-kafka_2.11</artifactId> <version>${flink.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-state-processor-api_2.11</artifactId> <version>${flink.version}</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-connector-jdbc_2.11</artifactId> <version>1.11.0</version> </dependency> <!-- Add logging framework, to produce console output when running in the IDE. --> <!-- These dependencies are excluded from the application JAR by default. --> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId> <version>1.7.7</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>log4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j</artifactId> <version>1.2.17</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> <!-- Test dependencies--> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-test-utils_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId> <version>${flink.version}</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-runtime_2.11</artifactId> <version>${flink.version}</version> <scope>test</scope> <classifier>tests</classifier> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId> <artifactId>flink-streaming-java_2.11</artifactId> <version>${flink.version}</version> <scope>test</scope> <classifier>tests</classifier> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.assertj</groupId> <artifactId>assertj-core</artifactId> <!-- use 2.9.1 for Java 7 projects --> <version>3.16.1</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <!-- Java Compiler --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.1</version> <configuration> <source>${java.version}</source> <target>${java.version}</target> </configuration> </plugin> <!-- We use the maven-shade plugin to create a fat jar that contains all necessary dependencies. --> <!-- Change the value of <mainClass>...</mainClass> if your program entry point changes. --> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.0.0</version> <!-- author = Manas - dependencyReducedPOM was disabled to stop maven from entering an infinite loop --> <configuration> <createDependencyReducedPom>false</createDependencyReducedPom> </configuration> <executions> <!-- Run shade goal on package phase --> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>shade</goal> </goals> <configuration> <artifactSet> <excludes> <exclude>org.apache.flink:force-shading</exclude> <exclude>com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305</exclude> <exclude>org.slf4j:*</exclude> <exclude>log4j:*</exclude> </excludes> </artifactSet> <filters> <filter> <!-- Do not copy the signatures in the META-INF folder.

However, when I submit this to Flink I get the error: > ../../flink-1.11.0/bin/flink run target/flink_summarization-0.1.jar ------------------------------------------------------------ The program finished with the following exception: org.apache.flink.client.program.ProgramInvocationException: The program's entry point class ' iu.feature_summarization.basic_features.pre.BasicPreProcessJob' was not found in the jar file . *Am I specifying some <scope> tag incorrectly in my pom file?* Thank you, Manas
