title: How to manage project dependencies using Maven?
body: <p>This is probably a newbie quesiton, but I'm a newbie when it comes to Java and the Maven documentation is tough to work through and all seems to be written for Maven experts.  I'm trying to install a driver in a Java project.  I've got a project with code that works (ie, I don't want to torch what I already have) and maven is installed and up-to-date.  I know the dependency XML to add to pom.xml, but I don't know where to start to create a pom.xml file.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to run 'mvn install' a couple of times, but I don't see the driver anywhere so I can't reference it with my java build path.</p>
  
  <p>What's the best way to proceed?</p>
