[starter-dev] Jakarta EE Client Tooling

[Ivar Grimstad <ivar.grimstad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy folks,

I think it would be great to provide some sort of client tooling for Jakarta EE. Similar to what most vendors provide today in a proprietary way. Examples:

- Helidon CLI [1] 
- Liberty Maven Plugin [2]

- Quarkus [2]

It would be great to offer the developers the possibility to for example

Create a project with `jakartaee init` or `jakartaee create`

Start a in dev mode with `jakartaee dev`

Do you think this is an idea worth while pursuing? 

Do you think this project is the right place to start this initiative?

   (it may turn in to a Jakarta specification later)
