How to convert from Ant project to maven project?

[jiapei100]

Hi, all:

Sorry for my entry-level question. Is it possible for me to convert from an Ant project to A Maven project from within NetBeans IDE?

Or, is there any method to convert from an Ant project to a Maven project using some command line method? Or, any standard method to do so?

Best Regards
Pei

No conversions AFAIK. Some folks run ant from inside maven like this:

     <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>verify</phase>
            <configuration>
              <tasks>
                <property
                  name="compile_classpath"
                  refid="maven.compile.classpath" />
                <property
                  name="runtime_classpath"
                  refid="maven.runtime.classpath" />
                <property
                  name="test_classpath"
                  refid="maven.test.classpath" />
                <property
                  name="plugin_classpath"
                  refid="maven.plugin.classpath" />
                <ant antfile="${basedir}/build.xml">
                  <target name="default" />
                </ant>
              </tasks>
            </configuration>
            <goals>
              <goal>run</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
        <dependencies>
          <dependency>
            <groupId>ant</groupId>
            <artifactId>ant-nodeps</artifactId>
            <version>1.6.5</version>
          </dependency>
        </dependencies>
      </plugin>
