This video shows How to convert java web application project to Maven project in Netbeans

Before we continue ... the question is? is it possible to convert the java web application project
to Maven project in Netbeans?

The answer is NOOOOOO....!
The NetBeans can't convert by itself or there is no plugin for it,
but it can be done in two different phases.

1. Open Netbeans
2. Create a java web application project first
run the project make sure it works
3. Create a maven project next
run the project make sure it works
3. Manually copy the project files from web application project to maven project
run the project make sure it works, this time you should see the content in
java web application projects are displaying in the Maven project.

4. This step is important ... enter the project dependencies in POM.XML
eg: if you create JSF project enter JSF dependencies in pom.xml
in this video we added JSF, HIBERNATE, PRIMEFACES so add these dependencies

FYI: we did not create any java class so all the packages are empty you don't have to copy,

But why we take this approach because the NetBeans java web project creates a basic template for JSF, SPRING, STRUTS, HIBERNATE, PRIMEFACES,
RICHFACES, ICEFACES, etc. but the maven project does not create templates for you.

To create the base template from the java web application project and move the files to the Maven project

Follow the instructions in the video

FYI: The conversion from java web application project to Maven project is possible in ECLIPSE,
watch the IPGRAY video for eclipse IDE.
