Not sure if that was meant as a direct reply to me or not, but I
completely agree with that ...

... however, from a couple of conversations I've had recently with
new-ish programmers, I'm not sure I agree with hiding the fact that
there *is* a build system when not forcing a decision.
I'm mostly +1 to Toni's PR as a good first step, but personally I
think it would be better to be more explicit in the name and
description that the project uses Maven -
eg. Java Application with Maven - A Java application using the default
Maven build system.
Is there also an issue if we just move the Maven template with the
same name in place of the Ant one that a load of old tutorials, etc.
will be confusingly wrong?
Best wishes,
Neil
