Should'nt it be the same with Netbeans Platform App?
The wizzard for a maven based Platform app wizzard can be found in the "Maven" folder but the ant-based Platform app wizzard is in the folder "Netbeans Modules". But I am not sure what should be the default. I feel better with the ant-based Netbeens platform apps, because of some features like resolving dependencies of platform modules. But I havent tried maven based platform app creation a couple of years.
