Add Support to different java-based languages (Kotlin, Groovy) #65

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be really nice being able to, similar to Spring's own starter page, being able to pre-generate a maven project that already has the plugin for a language like Kotlin or Groovy integrated, and the relevant classes written for said language instead of plain java.

Describe the solution you'd like It could be included in the "Technology" section of the "Settings" tab, offering a Select with Java as default, and the other alternatives as options in the dropdown.

Additional context I saw some comments on potential issues in the past between Kotlin and Vaadin Fusion (now Hilla), not sure if that's still a thing but I guess it's something to consider for this being implementable.

I don't think that Groovy is widely used with Vaadin.

Kotlin, for sure is a valid option. The point with Kotlin is that the code would look different when using the Karibu DSL. https://vaadin.com/docs/v14/flow/guide/start/kotlin
