我如何使用Maven将lib文件夹中的罐子添加为单独的依赖项

Question

I have a legacy Java Webapp (Struts2), where all my dependencies are present in WebContent/WEB-INF/lib folder. I have tried to convert the entire project to Maven using Eclipse>Configure>Convert-to-Maven-Projet and new pom file was generated successfully.

How can i add the jars in my lib folder as individual dependencies in my pom.xml and manage them using pom.xml . I don't want to point to the lib folder during maven package and include the jars in my final war file, instead i would like to get rid of the all the jars in lib folder and manage them using pom.xml , just like any other Maven Project.

What is the best way to achieve this ? Is there any automated process or do i need to manually add dependencies in pom.xml ? (FYI - all my jars are standard Java dependencies like Struts,Log4j,Apache Commons etc., so i can get them from Maven central repo).

There isn't an automatted process to do that task for you, because jars can be included in different dependencies. You have to add them manually to your pom file.
