how to configure my already existing project in Maven

plese tell me, how to configure my already existing project in Maven???

What have you tried so far? Have you read the Maven quickstart guides on their website?

not whole...but somewhat.....

please provide link......if any for mavenizing existing project in Netbeans

Well firstly, have you enabled the Maven plugin for Netbeans?

Also, Maven is very opinionated about how a project is managed. You might have to create a new Maven project (after installing the Maven plugin) and copy your sources into that project. If your current project build multiple artifacts, you will need multiple Maven projects.

Hello Peter,

Shall I have to do this manually......netbeans does not provide this conversion from existing java project to Maven Project??(But I think its possible using Eclipse...Am i correct???)

You generally have to manually change your project yes.

Have a look in mvnrepository.com and also search for "Maven Search sites" in google, it'll come up with a few more, best of luck!
