java - I just started learning Maven. How does Eclipse build without it? -


i've been coding java in eclipse awhile without needing specify dependencies. learned how maven it, i'm wondering: how did eclipse build projects on own? how did eclipse figure out versions of imports, , dependencies of dependencies, needed make work?

finally, advantages , disadvantages of building project in eclipse starting new->other->maven project instead of new->java project?

to first question: eclipse doesn't add dependency in standard java project. have manually add build path needed jars, otherwise you'll have compilation errors.

to second question: if create standard java project maven not used, if create pom.xml file in root of project. can convert standard java project in maven project (see convert existing eclipse project maven project).
