It involves changing the following two step:
Step 1: Add the following to the projects pom.xml file:
<execution>
<id>default-cli</id>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<executable>java</executable>
<commandlineArgs>${runfx.args}</commandlineArgs>
</configuration>
</execution>

<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>

<executions>
<execution>

<phase>package</phase>
<goals>

</goals>
<configuration>

<arguments>

<argument>${mainClass}</argument>
<argument>-srcdir</argument>
<argument>${project.build.directory}/classes</argument>
<argument>-outdir</argument>
<argument>${project.build.directory}</argument>
<argument>-outfile</argument>
<argument>${project.build.finalName}.jar</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>

<goals>

</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>

<plugin>
..
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Step 2: Exchange the project's nbaction.xml with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<actions>
<action>
<actionName>run</actionName>
<goals>
<goal>clean package</goal>
<goal>org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec</goal>
</goals>
<properties>
<runfx.args>-jar ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.jar</runfx.args>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
</properties>
</action>
<action>
<actionName>debug</actionName>
<goals>
<goal>clean package</goal>
<goal>org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2.1:exec</goal>
</goals>
<properties>
<runfx.args>-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=n,address=${jpda.address} -jar ${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.jar</runfx.args>
<skipTests>true</skipTests>
<jpda.listen>true</jpda.listen>
</properties>
</action>
</actions>
