Description

The packaged WordCount example jobs have been reported to not be terribly helpful and simply create noise in the initial project setup.

In addition, setting the main class by default to StreamingJob creates a better out of the box experience for the majority of the users. We prominently document how to adjust this to use BatchJob as the main class.
