In JShell, how to import classpath from a Maven project

Question

I have a local Maven project under development. How can I launch jshell with the project class path with all the dependencies, so that I can test project or dep

You can use the jshell-maven-plugin:

mvn com.github.johnpoth:jshell-maven-plugin:1.3:run

which will fire up a JShell session with your project's runtime path. If you want to include your test dependencies just add -DtestClasspath to the command.

NOTE: the plugin expects the project to be built already. If not, invoke the appropriate Maven build phase before the plugin e.g:

mvn [install|compile|test-compile] com.github.johnpoth:jshell-maven-plugin:1.3:run
