Just a simple alternative to the Maven Quickstart archetypes that comes with:

• a recent JUnit version
• Hamcrest and its additional matchers
• logback runtime and test configurations
• a .editorconfig file with encoding setup correctly

 mvn archetype:generate \
 -DarchetypeGroupId=de.bripkens \
 -DarchetypeArtifactId=java-quickstart \
 -DarchetypeVersion=0.2.0
