Solution

  • The nice part of using maven is that most standard stuff works automatically once you do things the maven way. For a simple webapp:

    1. Create a pom with groupId, artifactId and version (packaging: war)
    2. Add the required dependencies to the pom
    3. 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

    That should get you up 'n' running.
