you must create file main of Robot framework like:

    import org.robotframework.RobotFramework;

    public class RobotFrameworkTest {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            prepareYourEnvironmentTest();
            RobotFramework.main(args);
        }
        private static void prepareYourEnvironmentTest() {
            // your code
        }
    }

In pom.xml file you must use maven shade plugin:

<plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.1</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>package</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>shade</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <transformers>
                            <transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
                                <manifestEntries>
                                    <Main-Class>ors.robotframework.RobotFrameworkTest</Main-Class>
                                </manifestEntries>
                            </transformer>
                        </transformers>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
