I inherited an Ant based project that has over 80 MB jar files in the lib directory. I would like to convert it to Maven. Jar files are called very simply, for example quartz.jar . Since there is no pointer to a group identifier, much smaller version, converting this to pom.xml format will be very painful.
Is there a service or API that will return the Maven coordinates (group, artifact, version) for the jar file, given its SHA?
My rollback will be to examine the MANIFEST file from each jar, which will at least give me version information, if not specific Maven coordinates.
