How to convert ant project into a maven project

Question

Can somebody mention the method to convert an ant project into maven project?

Answer 1

Suppose for instance, you want to convert a simple web application to a maven project,

1. You will need to create a pom file with groupId, artifactId and version (packaging: war)
2. Then, you need to add the required dependencies to the pom file
3. Next, you will have to move the
   • java sources to src/main/java,
   • resources to src/main/resources,
   • webapp content to src/main/webapp,
   • test content to src/test/java and src/test/resources
4. set the compiler compliance version using the maven compiler plugin

This should do!
