How to start projects with Maven

[Vikas Phonsa <VP...@suz.com>]

Hi Guys,

I want to know how should the project development be started in order to use
Maven. In the tutorials and articles, maven is used to build and jar up
stuff after the classes have been written. They wrote the project.xml after
they had written the classes.

 I want to use Maven my WDSC IDE so that Maven acts as an application
assembly tool which would get all the dependency jars on itself. 
In this IDE you see a red mark if some required jar/class is not found and
then you go and update the build path. There is a file that stores the paths
of all the required jars and I intend to update that file with Maven so that
those red marks are eliminated in the IDE.


So how should I start the projects. Should creating a project.xml be the
first step in starting a new project so that I can run maven to get all the
dependencies for the classes before I actually create those classes?

I don't know if I make any sense but I would appreciate any ideas or any
general guidelines regarding starting new project.

Thanks

Vikas
