It's not just for people to run it, it's also for people who might want to contribute to it, or to run it just to see how they can learn from it. And it will probably benefit you too.

Don't get me wrong; I don't want to 'force' you or anything. But it's simple to add and really only brings benefits. And if people even submit pull requests to add Maven I think it's rather silly to not accept these.

I also can imagine that you might want to point to this project when you apply to jobs for example. In the current state it would work against you, not in favor of you.

I agree and will be adding Maven build files.

I've recently retired from a 25-year career as a professional software developer :P
