Run the job through CommandLineJobRunner: java -jar batchprimer-1.0.jar META-INF/spring/module-context.xml job1

even with a complete target folder you have to provide the classpath information for the java command, to ease the configuration you can try it with an all-in-one executable jar e.g. with maven-shade-plugin or an executable shell script (.bat/.sh) with all needed libraries, e.g. with appassembler-maven-plugin

maven-shade-plugin example configuration (creates additional jar):

                         
    maven-shade-plugin
    1.5
    
        
            package
            
                shade
            
            
                
                    
                        org.springframework.batch.core.launch.support.CommandLineJobRunner
                    
                    
                        META-INF/spring.handlers
                    
                    
                        META-INF/spring.schemas
                    
                
                true
                
                executable
            
        
    

example appassembler configuration (creates subfolder structure and .bat/.sh):

    appassembler-maven-plugin
    org.codehaus.mojo
    1.1.1
    
        flat
        false
        ${project.build.directory}/appassembler
        
            512M
            1024M
            
                -Dlog4j.configuration=../etc/log4j/log4j.properties
            
        
        etc
        
            
                applicationName
                org.springframework.batch.core.launch.support.CommandLineJobRunner
                
                    spring/job-runner.xml
                    helloWorldJob
                    input.file.pattern=file:.../**/*.txt
                
                
                    booter-unix
                    booter-windows
                
            
        
    
    
        
            package
            
                generate-daemons
                create-repository
