Improved Maven Support During Classroom Training

In the past year Maven slowly but steadily grow more popular (above Ant). The advantages of using Maven in and before  class are huge in comparison to using Ant (easier, faster, and more reliable setup, better integration with IDEs etc.).  Last year we already launched our own Maven Repository to ensure a smooth run of the various exercises (it gives us a controlled and manageable environment to ensure the required resources are available). Students during class however had to enable a ’student’ profile to distinguish from the solution code. This led to problems in some cases (i.e. forgetting to set the profile when creating an IntelliJ or Eclipse project). Hence we are very happy to announce today this is no longer required! We have updated the Maven project files in such a way there is only one profile left (the solution profile).
