   The idea sound sane, however it is only one way to declare the main class. Another variant can be found in dropwizard projects:
   
   https://github.com/dropwizard/dropwizard/blob/master/dropwizard-archetypes/java-simple/src/main/resources/archetype-resources/pom.xml#L23
   
   The property there is "mainClass". We could define a list of properties as candidates for the "main class", which could be ["exec.mainClass", "project.mainclass", "mainClass"] and scan them sequentially and use the first non empty value.
   
   The thing I'd like to know: Can I override the value with the project properties dialog? There is a mainclass setting available, which should be the ultimate value.
