OK; the second link is supposed to lead to the template the file was created
from. An the file exists (on the nbfs) in fact:
```
<folder name="JavaApp">
<folder name="src">
<folder name="main">
<folder name="java">
<folder name="${packagePath}">
<file name="${mainClassName}.java"
url="nbresloc:/org/netbeans/modules/maven/resources/App.java.template">
<attr
name="javax.script.ScriptEngine" stringvalue="freemarker"/>
<attr name="template.openFile"
boolvalue="true"/>
</file>
</folder>
</folder>
</folder>
</folder>
</folder>
```
So the templating engine (or the template) should be enhanced to properly
URLencode special chars (which it does not do at the moment). The replaceable
tokens are intentionally in the path to allow substitution from API call
parameters.
The other issue is that the entire Java Project structure is not shown in
Templates - this should be (somehow) fixed. "Somehow" means that the template
UI (Tools | Templates dialog) isn't actually prepared for structured templates,
where the user could eventually add conent etc - so some tweak will be needed
to **present** the Maven-main-class template.
The reason why the Wizard does not use the "main" template is because the
template instantiation call would invoke another New From Template wizard --
this is how those templates are registered at the moment, and that Wizard does
not support being parametrized from outside *and run headless*. That *might* be
fixed as well - but will be probably more tough.
I can take as a Friday project the first two items (URL encoding / link fix
+ Templates UI appearance). I cannot promise the last at the moment - although
it would be cool to be able to reuse other templates in project structure
template.
