The basic tutorial on the maven website only shows how to make a new project from scratch. I'm confused about using maven with an existing project
I just want to compile the .java files into bin, not package them into a jar

If you set up the default maven configuration, the compiled .class files will be placed in target/classes.
Note: make sure your project has the correct layout for maven to work (without additional hassle):
project root
- pom.xml
- src
- main
- java
- <.java classes and directories for packages>
