OK, after extensive discussion in earlier thread about the best way to 
go about Mavenizing Existing Project(s) in my, shall we say, unusual 
environment (see that thread for details, don't want to recapitulate 
them here) I have decided to try to move forward.

First I have to learn this tool.  I have used maven before, but mainly 
in the way of building from someone else's POM.  Just type maven install 
or some such and bingo, the world is built.

Now my goal is to have pre-existing non-Maven projects be mavenized.  I 
am prepared to "throw the first one away".  I also want to take this 
opportunity to start from a m2eclipse platform, so I have now installed 
that, even to the point of installing Ganymede because I couldn't get it 
to install in Europa.  Although I know there is benefit to the command 
line tools, I'd like to start from eclipse, understanding that I can 
take the POM I produce and install it with command line tools.

So my first question is this:

How do I convert a non-Maven project into a Maven project? 

1) Is there some way to "change natures"?
2) Create a new Maven project, place in SVN, then move stuff to the 
right places?
