Hi Eduardo, I was in similar situation, but then followed Geertjan Wielenga’s advice to consider maven over ant based projects. If used properly, maven does all the rights things and better. So I have made the switch, and are happy with it. Supplying the students with a proper parent-Pom takes a lot of the scary things of maven away, because in there you can provide things like coverage (== Jacoco ) as a maven dependency, so that students only have the libraries their projects actually need. I will switch over to maven projects for our initial java course too in September. To find some examples, have a look at github sebivenlo, where you find such parent-pom, called sebipom and a few projects that use that parent.
Navigate to https://github.com/sebivenlo/sebipom And it sibling projects on github to see what I provide. If you want some example exercises, let me know and I will send them using a private channel.
