Try compile the project first. Run your command as before but slightly modified:

mvn -e compile exec:java

Justification: Of course I don't have your sources and cannot be 100% sure but I have the very same error if I execute without compiling first:

Then, you should run your command again:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="your.Class"
