i suspect, reason you're not seeing error because maven didn't bother compiling classes in first place.

maven has various conventions, , 1 of them expects sourcecode located under src/main/java.

i'm betting you've dropped above pom.xml project root area , run mvn clean install. maven happily run that, since you've left source files in default ide locations, maven skips on it. have in target directory , you'll see hasn't compiled classes in there you

you have 2 options:

1. add somewhere inside <build> tags in above pom : ${basedir}/src
2. re-arrange source files follow src/main/java structure.

personally, i'd opt number 2.

p.s, there src/main/test too, test classes should go there :)

you can read more configuration of pom file here
