How do you "Mavenize" a project using Intellij?

Java Problem Overview


I have seen many posts about using eclipse to Mavenize a project. Is there a easy way to do that in IntelliJ? From what I understand about "Mavenize", it's just add some xml in pom.xml and the directory structure is in src/main/java, src/main/test ....

Java Solutions


Solution 1 - Java

For those that benefit from a visual, as I did:

enter image description here

Essentially, just right-click on the folder. In this example, it's called StackOverFlow and choose Add Framework Support and then check the Maven box. Please note, that this option only exists when you have created a class within the src folder.

Solution 2 - Java

Right-click on the module, select "Add framework support...", and check the "Maven" technology. (This also creates a pom.xml for you to modify.)

Solution 3 - Java

Go to .iml and in the component change the tag to the following

<module org.jetbrains.idea.maven.project.MavenProjectsManager.isMavenModule="true" type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">

Solution 4 - Java

Following steps will help you to add maven support for your project.

  1. Right click on the module
  2. Select Add Framework Support
  3. Select Maven from the options on the left and click OK

Now the IDEA will create a default pom.xml to the project selected and creates standard maven project structure.

Open the created pom.xml file and edit the groupId, artifactId and version as per your requirement since the values will be automatically created when converted to maven project.

Afterwards, dependencies can be added into the pom.xml. Every time you change the POM, IntelliJ IDEA displays a popup suggesting to import your changes. You can look here to enable/ disable auto import if you prefer.

Solution 5 - Java

This works in 2016.3.1 version: Right click on project -> go to the Maven menu -> show effective POM
