System, method, and computer program for converting a current Java project to a Maven project

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising computer code for:

• identifying, by a system, a current Java project to convert to a Maven project;
• scanning, by the system, the current Java project to identify a structure of the Java project including:
• a plurality of modules associated with the Java project,
• dependencies and linkages associated with the plurality of modules, and
• resources required by the plurality of modules;
• generating, by the system, a project template for the Maven project based on the identified structure of the Java project;
• arranging, by the system, files associated with the Java project according to a structure of the project template generated for the Maven project, including:
• storing a copy of each of the files in a corresponding folder of the project template,
• identifying, in the files, references to one or more of the files, and
• changing a path for each of the identified references;
• validating, by the system, the dependencies and linkages associated with the plurality of modules based on corresponding module requirements;
• generating, by the system, a Project Object Model (POM) file for each module of the plurality modules;
• generating, by the system, a root POM file for the Maven project that includes the dependencies;
• executing, by the system, a build of the Maven project utilizing the POM files generated for the plurality modules and the root POM file to generate artifacts for the Maven project;
• deploying, by the system, the artifacts in a central repository and a testing environment.

A system comprising one or more processors operable for:

• identifying, by the system, a current Java project to convert to a Maven project;
• scanning, by the system, the current Java project to identify a structure of the Java project including:
• a plurality of modules associated with the Java project,
• dependencies and linkages associated with the plurality of modules, and
• resources required by the plurality of modules;
