I have an existing eclipse project, a "dynamic web application", which

problem is that my directory/folder structure is significantly different
than the maven convention, which I would prefer to use. I'm not sure
how I should proceed, and if m2eclipse can help me.
For example, could I simply reorganize my directory structure in
subversion to match the maven convention and then import it into a new
eclipse project that's been set up to play nicely with maven?
I guess I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to proceed, for long
term happiness, and not some hack method that I may regret later on.
Thanks

Well, depending on your structure you can probably force Maven to accept it,
as it will allow you to tell it where certain things are (see the manual)..
but if you're looking for long term happiness, I would suggest modifying
your structure to conform to Maven standards, or at least as much as
possible. We use m2eclipse with a quite massive RCP build structure, and
even though it's not 100% according to Maven structure, we've managed to
adpot things just fine.
I don't think m2eclipse will make your life easier or harder. See it as a
very handy utility for running and compiling with Maven within Eclipse, not
a GUI for making an odd directory structure conform to Maven ;)
Hope that helps,
Regards,
Emil
