Hi, I created a PR which does the changes proposed initially:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/pull/1038 It changes category "Java" to contain the Maven projects and introduces a new category "Ant(ic) Java" with former "Java" projects and subcategories "JavaFX" and "NetBeans Modules". I agree that additional/more complex changes, as discussed by Chris and Geertjan, make sense in the longer term, but probably require further discussion. For now, this is a simple change (mostly branding) which solves the basic issue. --Toni Am 25.11.18, 10:40 schrieb "Geertjan Wielenga" <[email protected]>: I think I agree with Chris -- if we're going to make a change here, let's do it completely: IMHO there should be a single wizard named "Java SE Application" and a single wizard named "Java Web Applicaton", both of which, in step two or three, should let the user choose whether they want to build their Java application with Maven, Gradle, or Ant.
