Description
I was getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException for a class in the same Maven project as the plugin is running against. This despite the fact that the class was available in target/classes.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.6.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>java</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<mainClass>mypackage.MyClass</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
This failed until I added <includeProjectDependencies>true</includeProjectDependencies>.
This shouldn't be necessary as https://github.com/mojohaus/exec-maven-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/codehaus/mojo/exec/ExecJavaMojo.java#L105 says that it's true by default and so does the generated documentation at https://www.mojohaus.org/exec-maven-plugin/java-mojo.html#includeProjectDependencies.

Research direction
Start with ExecJavaMojo.java around the mentioned includeProjectDependencies default and compare it with the generated java-mojo.html documentation. Reproduce the Maven configuration using exec-maven-plugin 1.6.0 and verify whether project classes are available without explicitly enabling the option. Done means the documented default and actual behavior agree, with the reported ClassNotFoundException resolved.
