I used eclipse convert to
maven project tool to convert a simple
java project. I have question here: In my project, in java build path-->library I have bunch of open source jar files like some apache open source jars. After I used the tool to convert the pj inot maven pj, it generates a pom.xml. But the pom.xml doesn't include anything like dependency for these jar files. I checked the effective pom.xml and it doesn't have it either. I thought maven uses pom.xml to specify what dependency jars it needs to get from repository, right ? So for my case, my project needs those jars but why the conversion tool doesn't include them in pom.xml ?
