Modify project structure on subversion to use maven

Question

I have a project created in Eclipse that has roughly this structure:

src
conf
test
WebContent
- WEB-INF

When integrating with maven the structure should be more like this:

src
- main
  - java
  - resources
  - webapp
    - WEB-INF
- test

I can either modify the pom to work on the old structure, but I prefer to have the classic maven structure. Is there anyway to move the files in the new structure in order to keep their history? How can I do that?

You can move files/folders in SVN retaining history. See this related SO post. If you use subversion client integrated with Eclipse (subclipse or subversive), then you can do this within Eclipse itself, by choosing Refactor -> Rename../Move... and commit the changes.

Thanks very much, it worked. You can change the whole structure and add maven in a single commit, and all history has been preserved – Alin Stoian Feb 16 '12 at 16:31
