title: Is there a way to create maven dependency in pom file from a local jar
body: <p>There is a java project which has too many jar files and it has become difficult to manage all of them. I know there is a way to convert this project to a maven project but I don't want to manually add the dependency for each jar in my project to the pom file.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to create the pom file using the local jar files such that the pom will contain the dependency tag for each jar.</p>
  
  <p>Edit : I want to clarify that  I do not want to add the jars from/to the local repository. 
  The local repository approach will not work for me as the project will be used by multiple users across different systems.</p>
  
  <p>I wanted to create regular pom dependency entries along with groupId, artifactId and version for the jar files which I already have so that I can copy-paste it into the pom file when I convert my project to a Maven project. As I have a large number of JARs in my project, I would have to do it all manually. </p>
  
  <p>Solution provided by @Milen Dyankov worked for me. I was able to get the information I needed from most of the JAR files.</p>
