(was: Hi Mark,

I think replacing the StreamingJob skeleton as the main class doesn't match what this issue is aiming for.

I see 2 approaches here:

1. BatchJob skeleton and StreamingJob skeleton within same quickstart module ( i.e. Batch & Streaming Java / Batch & Streaming Scala)
In the javadoc within each skeleton, you can guide the user to use `./bin/flink run -c <either BatchJob or StreamingJob> <quickstart jar>` as instructed in https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.0/apis/cli.html.
Instead on defining a mainClass in the shade plugin, comment the transformers for the mainClass setting out with instructions that the user can add this back if they decide to simply use `./bin/flink run <quickstart jar>` with either one of the skeletons as main class entry point.

2. Have 4 separate quickstarts, i.e. Batch Java / Batch Scala / Streaming Java / Streaming Scala.

I like the first approach better, since it also has a natural way of letting the user know that there are different submission options for a packaged Flink jar job.)

> The Job skeleton created by the maven archetype "quickstart" is still setting up an ExecutionEnvironment, not a StreamExecutionEnvironment.
> These days, most users are using Flink for streaming, so we should reflect that in the quickstart as well.
