I've inherited a web project (Servlets) which is currently build inside eclipse.

I want to add maven around it. But the project's source directory is not following the maven convention. Instead of being inside src/main/java, it's src/package/name/...

I don't want to change anything right now because they are working at full speed towards a milestone. Can I configure maven to accept src/ as the java source directory ? Thanks

Just add this to your pom in the build section.

<sourceDirectory>${basedir}/src</sourceDirectory>

Here's the relevant section of the POM doc on configuring the directories.
