Description Fred Bricon CLA 2012-08-17 04:46:42 EDT 
We found at least one use case (bug 387447) where some refactoring is needed to complete the conversion process.

I think that, if several conversion participants were to perform some refactoring of their own, all requests should be centralized in a new refactoring page from the conversion wizard.

I'm not familiar with the refactoring API so don't know what is possible exactly. Instead of one centralized refactoring page, conversion participant may contribute their specialized refactoring pages via a new an extension point. I'm creating this enhancement request to gather requirements and discuss possible implementations for the given scenario.

WDYT?

This bug is referenced in https://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_project_conversion_enhancements. If I understand correctly and this is about moving the source/test folders according to the maven convention _this should be reopened and its priority bumped_. It is a surprise for new users (like me) that actually the plugin is unable to reproduce the maven conventions _even for the simplest SE projects._ One really spends some time googling to convince oneself. From the page above:

> User converting to Maven expect their projects to be transformed to follow the maven folder structure (among other things)

So true...

If you decide not to reopen (or if this is about something else) then please edit the https://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_project_conversion_enhancements page to remove the reference.

Thanks

@Palmer Eldritch if this is a priority for you, please consider providing a quality patch. Same goes for the wiki page, if you find any inconsistencies or outdated information, feel free to fix it, either by removing the stale text or adding a note.
