    Hi,

    While we are on the subject...

    Would it be not reasonable to share the templates for a new project
    among the different project creators?

    Right now, if one creates a project with the eclipse wizard or the
    maven archetype, certain files (Application.java, Main.html,
    Properties, etc.) show up in the newly created project. But, of
    course, they differ in content based on which creator one used.

    Why? Why not share these templates in common, so that an eclipse
    Wonder app has the same Properties, Application.java, etc. as a maven
    Wonder app? etc. I imagine these files could just be pulled out of a
    jar or something. Why keep two separate source streams for these
    templates?
