Thanks Benno and Peter for your opinion and choices.  I encourage
students/developers to learn and try to contribute to the NetBeans Plugins
ecosystem, and these opinions will help me choose the right path chosen by
most developing Plugins.

I know Benno has developed many plugins and if he advocates Maven then I
feel that anyone newly coming into NetBeans Plugin development should start
with Maven based plugin now.

I will wait for any other developers here for a different opinion.
