One tool that can convert from M1 to M2 is the Maven One Plugin: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-one-plugin/ This is a plugin for Maven 2. You should have a look at the sources for the convert goal, to get you started. Then, as Jason said, it's a matter of doing it in the opposite direction. > > On 22-Apr-09, at 10:21 AM, Michael K.
