OK, after extensive discussion in earlier thread about the best way to go about Mavenizing Existing Project(s) in my, shall we say, unusual environment (see that thread for details, don't want to recapitulate them here) I have decided to try to move forward.

First I have to learn this tool. I have used maven before, but mainly in the way of building from someone else's POM. Just type maven install or some such and bingo, the world is built.

Now my goal is to have pre-existing non-Maven projects be mavenized. I am prepared to "throw the first one away". I also want to take this opportunity to start from a m2eclipse platform, so I have now installed that, even to the point of installing Ganymede because I couldn't get it to install in Europa. Although I know there is benefit to the command line tools, I'd like to start from eclipse, understanding that I can take the POM I produce and install it with command line tools.

So my first question is this:

How do I convert a non-Maven project into a Maven project?
1) Is there some way to "change natures"?
2) Create a new Maven project, place in SVN, then move stuff to the right places?
