Provide a way to convert pure java libs into maven provided dependencies

XMLWordPrintable

    • Hide
      A new feature has been added that assists users in converting a Java project to Maven. After selecting the project's Maven coordinate, a new wizard will display that attempts to identify all the project's classpath entries and their equivalent Maven dependencies. The user can then decide on the dependencies that will be added to the generated Maven pom.xml file.

      Dependencies can be edited within the wizard by double-clicking on the dependency, opening a dialog page. After all changes have been made and needed dependencies are selected, a user can select to delete all classpath entries from the project, as the Maven Dependencies Library will provide all the required classpath libraries after the conversion.
