How to convert a large Java Project to a Maven Project?

Question

If I create a Java Project at the beginning

some days later,the project becomes larger and the dependency is larger

I want to use maven to manage dependency, what should I do?

I should create (src/main/java src/test/java pom.xml) manually or is there some easy way to do it?

Answer 1

If you use Eclipse, there is the possibility to convert an existing project into a maven project by right-click on the root project folder > Configure > Convert to Maven Project

in IntelliJ, you can convert it too, by selecting everything you need in the project sturcture settings.
