So far, creating a maven2 project there's either the choice of using an archetype or creating a project based upon an empty pom. Currently I would see it desirable to be capable of creating an "empty" maven project consisting just of - a project folder and - a pom.xml containing the minimum subset of information required for that (groupId, artifactId, version). So far, using any archetype usually ends up in throwing away quite a bit of things not always required (default packages, testing libs, ...).
not sure it's actually necessary to include, additional UI clutter needs to be evaluated. how to explain the basic difference? is it s usable setup for les experienced devs?
Usable setup for less experienced developers? Probably not, I assume. More of a "convenience" feature to all those who know pretty well what they want to do. In my opinion it fills the "gap" between being either pushed through a quickstart-based empty project or being in need of using external tools (shell, explorer, that kind of stuff) to create an empty folder+pom.xml simply to create a Maven2 project "from existing pom.xml". Overally I don't think it's that difficult a feature that would eradicate one more situation in which one once in a while is forced to use external tools (and/or abuse the "Favorites" view...). ;)

Needed for creating a tree of modules from inside the IDE. (Could create pom.xml manually but you would have to find another POM project to copy xmlns & required fields from, unless you have memorized all this.)
Reassigning to default owner.
core-main #679ba45f7626
Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *201008050001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress) Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/679ba45f7626 User: Jesse Glick <jglick@netbeans.org> Log: #139532: add standard archetype for POM project. Could in the future use a special wizard to make this nicer: - show at top level rather than as an "archetype" - do not show "package" field since it is unused - eliminate " Maven Multi Project" suffix in <name> which is irritating - set default New Project location so can easily add submodules
