-------------------------------------------------------------

In order to test the current work in progress, you need to import org.jboss.tools.maven.conversion.ui in your workspace (not part of the maven core feature yet) and run Run As > Eclipse Application (a.k.a eclipse in hosted mode).

The wizard is plugged to a project conversion participant (only active for java projects). Create a Dynamic web project, right click > Configure > Convert to Maven project. See http://screencast.com/t/D52i1zBR5Qg

TODO :
* Implement a preview page + copy to clipboard
* Delete existing jars / -classpath container- (in a smart way)
* -Edit dependency on double-click-
* Support EAR dependencies (i.e. not classpath dependencies)
* Support simple non java dependencies (outside the Convert to Maven project workflow)
* -Add this plugin to Maven Core feature-
