Hi All,

I have Gatling project and there is a runner class I have made like this (in which I can mention the desired simulation class name to run e.g. **AccountManagementSimulation.scala** )

object GatlingRunner {

def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {

// this is where you specify the class you want to run  
val simClass = classOf[**AccountManagementSimulation**].getName

val props = new GatlingPropertiesBuilder  
props.simulationClass(simClass)

Gatling.fromMap(props.build)

}  
}

But I am unable to run this class from the maven. I tried some commands like mvn package exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=GatlingRunner but nothing happens.

Although if I specify simulation class directly like mvn gatling:test -Dgatling.simulationClass=dealflow.AccountManagementSimulation then it works.

I am using \<gatling-plugin.version\> **3.0.3** \</gatling-plugin.version\>

Please suggest.
