Hi Tom,
In such a situation, I would start from a new maven project, and then
gradually include your stuff into that new project.
Netbenas will provide some help with finding the maven dependencies, some
others (in particular local ones) you might have to add by hand, but that
is also straightforward. In you case I would start with the EJB maven
template, and in the configuration step of the wizard select your wildfly
platform.
