I’ve been looking at our archetypes at https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-archetypes as we could leverage them to improve the user experience of getting started with WildFly (see my previous mail).

The project could benefit from enabling dependabot updates:

* The archetypes would be automatically updated with new WildFly releases. Brian is always making sure that he creates a PR whenever a new version of WildFly is released but this can be automated by dependabot and we would only need to merge a PR instead of having to create the commit manually.

* More importantly, we can also automatically update the generated projects so they use the latest version of any plugins that we configure in their pom.xml

I’ll also take the opportunity to move its default branch to `main` instead of `master` before applying these changes and create a GitHub action to get minimal CI for this project.

Best regards,

jeff
