I have installed m2eclipse plugin. I tried to convert a java project into a maven project.Here is my pom.xml

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <groupId>com.test</groupId> <artifactId>SpringExample</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <packaging>jar</packaging> <dependencies> <dependency> <artifactId>commons-lang</artifactId> <groupId>commons-lang</groupId> <version>2.1</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </project>

When I clicked on configure and converted it into maven project , I found out that 2 folders have been generated bin & target and all the class files are in bin folder, target folder is empty & jar was not created. This is the first time I'm trying to use maven and what I understand is that there should have been 2 folders generated src and target. I can't figure out what went wrong(I did not get any error). I am using eclipse juno ,I have installed m2e version 1.3.1.x

  • Update your m2e installation cause current version is 1.6 Furthermore it would suggest to get an more up to date of Eclipse like Luna etc. Commented Jan 28, 2015 at 7:16

I would recommend that you read Maven in 5 minutes. Converting the project will only generate the pom ("This wizard creates a new POM (pom.xml) descriptor for Maven.").

If you want to generate an project with the folder structure you have to use an maven archetype.

Example:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DgroupId=com.test -DartifactId=SpringExample -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -DinteractiveMode=false

You have to put your code under src/main/java. Tests should be under src/test/java. Your output is in target directory. Bin is generated by Eclipse not maven. More about directory structure here
