Feat: start.timefold.ai (Optimization project skeleton)

[mcimbora]

Let's say I want to start a new optimization project. I'd probably:

• take one of the solver examples/quickstarts as an inspiration
• set up a maven project
• declared solver/logging dependencies
• set up logger
• declared domain classes
• added timefold annotations
• created some dummy data
• created a single constraint
• created a constraint configuration class
• created a single test using a Constraint verifier
• created simple solver.xml with basic CH/LS, termination, solution/Entity classes, correct constraint provider references
• created a main class to set up a SolverFactory/Solver

Suggestion:

• Create a maven archetype / other (e.g. dummy example repository) that sets up the project skeleton. Ideally a simple java application with a main class that I can run & see some output in the log console.
• Maybe with some explanatory comments (e.g. define your constraints here, change this to update constraint weight for this constraint, etc.).
• Benefit - this avoids repetitive work that needs to be done everytime the developers start a new preoject.
