I believe this is a common problem with multi-module maven projects and isn't specific to Dataflow. Maybe this other thread could help: Maven exec:java goal on a multi-module project

That one mentions the issue you're having with MAINJAVACLASS not being found. The other half I'm less sure on, bit I think the reason the jars are missing there is because the package lifecycle phase hasn't been run on the module whose .jar you need. From what I can tell, the exec plugin doesn't run on any specific phase of the build lifecycle, so based on your information I would guess that it's being run only after the compile phase, which doesn't produce any jars (that happens in package).
