This is a plugin that we wrote for another project and just need to port over into Savant. I envisioned having a really powerful system for creating many different types of projects, similar to Maven's archetypes, however, we just haven't gotten it built yet.
Plus, we still want to try and work towards a Groovy based build file structure with a more complete method of managing "global plugins". This is in the plan for 2.0, but we haven't had any time to work on the 2.0 code for a while and have mostly just been bug fixing 1.5.
At first it looked like 2.0 would come along a lot sooner and so I held off moving the "project creation" plugin over from JCatapult. Now it seems like 1.5 will be the main release for a while and I think it might be best to move that plugin over at this point and make it a 1.5 global plugin.
