   >Are you proposing that be done manually?
   
   Manual treatment is reasonable. Everybody will likely spend much more time 
trying to automate it.
   
   There's an alternative option:
   0) Check out your branch in a separate folder (it will be needed for step 3)
   1) Create a new branch starting at master
   2) Perform a commit that **only moves the files around**. It should be more 
or less mechanical. Remember to perform renames only. Never edit files. Commit 
the changes as a single "move files according to Maven conventions" commit.
   3) **Delete** all files (without committing), and then copy all the files 
from your current branch (step 0). Then commit the resulting folder
   
   The outcome will be the same as you have now, and "step 3" would produce a 
commit that includes much less of renames since most (all?) of the renames 
should be treated at "step 2".

   In any case, I suggest merging my PRs before proceeding with Maven.
   For instance, PR https://github.com/apache/xalan-java/pull/7 normalized the 
line endings, and you might get in conflicts if you touch those files.
