title: Steps to "Mavenize" a Eclipse or NetBeans project with the help of Subversion?
body: <p>The process of mavenizing Eclipse and NetBeans projects usually takes a lot of manual work, if all files are under revision control. </p>
  
  <p>So I am thinking of writing an Ant script which uses svn commands to rearrange the files in the working copy according the standard Maven directory layout. This would keep all file revision histories intact. If all files have been moved to the correct places, the new directory structure would be committed together. (Instead of invoking many small move commands in the repository).</p>
  
  <p>Do you know resources which could help me to find the correct 'migration' strategy for standard Eclipse or NetBeans projects (including web projects)? </p>
  
  <p>For example, an overview of Eclipse and NetBeans directory structures for standard Java and Web / EJB projects would be helpful.</p>
