Description

Hello Laszlo. As soon as I implemented the VSCode project wizard I got following feedback:

The New Java Project wizard uses an unusual Gradle template with an older deprecated plugins syntax and jacoco included for some reason.

To make this feature maintainable we should instead use the existing "gradle init" functionality:

gradle init --type java-application --test-framework junit-jupiter --dsl groovy --package com.example --project-name example

Shall we switch the new project in NetBeans to use the above given command? Do you want to do it? Or shall I do it?
