Many months for a complete refactor, but couldn't you make a pretty good effort in just a few weeks, at least hit some of the low-hanging fruit etc? Making more Maven modules should be pretty low-cost if you're really converting everything over to Maven anyway. Or is *any* refactoring beyond the bare minimum required for the new build system out of the question? Arguably, moving files to new modules rather than using includes/excludes *is* part of that minimum effort IMO. Fowler's refactoring book and Feather's legacy code book are great resources for this kind of work, if you don't already have them.
