Answer 1

1. You'll need to install maven.
2. Then create a maven archetype. The archetype is a base project you can add your code into.
3. Move your code. Most Maven projects follow conventions for src, test and resource folders you will want to follow when adding your code.
4. Add your libraries
5. If you add your code correctly you can build your project using the command mvn clean install. This will build your project as a jar. r
6. declare your main class in the pom.
7. Run the jar with the typical commands. java -jar myJar

This sounds like a lot of work but Maven can help immensely with managing and distributing your projects. Most professional Java developers are expected to know maven.

Answer 2

If i understand it correctly you want to shift your whole java project in to maven, so if yes can you please post your pom file

and for running as a maven project you should have installed apache maven, then can use "mvn clean install test" command what this command will do , this will clean your target folder first then install all your depencies which you have given in pom file and then runs the test
