Maven executing JAR error: "no main manifest attribute" - eclipse

Question

I have a made a simple maven app which should be producing a jar which I can execute to start up a vert.x instance. My issue is executing the jar file. After searching, most issues show that the no main manifest attribute error shows because there is no main class declared in the manifest. I am using Maven and am declaring the main class as shown below in my pom.
