Better solution to exec:java in Maven

Hey! There is a simpler solution to execute a java program in Maven. Tracking back on my last development journey, there is a complicated way of doing this. Actually, I don't need any other except this:

<plugins>
      <plugin>
       <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
       <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
       <version>1.4.0</version>
       <executions>
         <execution>
          <id>Meta</id>
          <goals>
            <goal>java</goal>
          </goals>
         </execution>
       </executions>
       <configuration>
         <mainClass>org.huahsin.jms1.QBorrower</mainClass>
       </configuration>
      </plugin>
      ...
      ...
</plugins>

And then just hit clean compile exec:java in Eclipse goal to execute the Java program.
