I am working on this project which is way behind. They have not used maven or any build process. We decided to go with maven. Is there any way with which I can create pom.xml from the jars?

  • Shouldn't take that long. Get a shovel and start editing your pom.xml. If you are good with a scripting language for your OS perhaps you can use that to get started. But you'll need each individual entry in Maven Central. No automating that. – duffymo Aug 27 '16 at 20:40

    If this projects happens to be an Eclipse Project you should check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8817885/how-to-create-the-pom-xml-for-a-java-project-with-eclipse – acm Aug 27 '16 at 20:41

Assumed that you have some legacy jar files from previous work and those projects do not make use of Maven

Now, you want to build a new project using those jar files with the usage of Maven.

You can consider to install those jar files into your local repository by Maven command 

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.yourcompany -DartifactId=yourartifactid -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dfile=yourfile.jar -DgeneratePom=true
