That's precisely what I was doing, by looking into the Maven docs, and trying to find a way to copy this file to the right destination folder. The generated pom.xml files for both templates seem identical with the exception of the main class name and the project name, so there must be a reason why they behave differently.

It's up to you to figure out what/if maven is doing differently for one project and not the other. It's not a NetBeans issue.
