Generating a Maven Java Project with Updated JUnit dependency and Targeting Java 8?

Question

I was also considering building a quick archetype generator in Node that would be similar to npmjs.com/package/@superflycss/cli since this would allow faster refactoring and updating of the generators I would think ... — Ole

I do overthink a lot :) - It would be nice if Java finally starts moving into a lightweight IDE vscode with lightweight Angular like component generation and layout features though ... have not touched Java in a while and with node the setup for a quick prototyping environment is like 30 seconds whereas with Java it's still ... — Ole
