Building a template

Templates have to satisfy a few requirements.

1. They need to have a .template-name file in their root, containing the fully-qualified name of the template (e.g com.my-org/my-template). This is used as the basis for renaming the project.
2. Both the template namespaces (e.g com.my-org and the template name my-template) should not conflict with any other names in the template, since they will be replaced via simple text substitution. This is why Arachne's core templates have a NS of org.arachne-framework.template instead of org.arachne-framework: So all the other legitimate instances of org.arachne-framework in the app don't get replaced.
3. Both the namespace and the name should have a hyphen. This is admittedly an odd requirement, but it guarantees that the replacement script is able to disambiguate instances that should be replaced with an underscore from those that should not, and it is transparent to the user.
