Is Maven the right coice for a simple plain (Hello World) java project? (No J2EE, No Springboot...)?

Question

I want to create a simple java desktop application.

Now i asked myself how to start, should i use maven? Or is maven much more for projects in the j2ee, springboot space? How to start?

`maven` will help adding dependencies in your project easily and your raw code will be portable. Better to use it. — Hemant Patel, Mar 31 '19 at 15:47
Well do you expect that it stays a rather simple hello world project or do you think it will grow to something bigger in the nearest future? — mle, Mar 31 '19 at 16:04

Depends on the stack you want to use for your desktop app (and keep in mind, that java is more and more a platform for non-desktop stuff)

in general: maven is always the right choice but it does not restrict you to any stack
