Init

The init command creates a Java project structure inside the current working directory.

This will create a project file (for example pom.xml), .gitignore, .editorconfig and Java code for a hello world application.

You have to specify a project type.

jack init --type <project type>

Short of --type is -t.

You should only use this to create a new project. Do not add a second project file to an existing Java project.
