Maven2 and Eclipse (J2EE)

Hi!

I'm building a new project and aim to use Maven2, J2EE and Eclipse.
I've had a look at the Maven website trying to find answers to some of
my questions, but have not been successful. I hope somebody out there
has experience in this combination and can help me.

My questions are:

1. How should I create the initial project (directory structures etc)?
Should I use Maven to do it, or do it manually?
2. Does the project structure need to have a certain layout to be
supported by Maven2?
3. What files do I commit in CVS? There will be multiple users working
on the project. Do I include the Eclipse project files or do I let
Maven2 recreate them when new users gets the source?

If anybody could give me a step-by-step instruction on how to go from A
to Z in this, I would be very thankful (from creating the project
structure, importing it into Eclipse and committing/getting the files
from CVS). Not very detailed but high-level...
