- Switch into the templates project: cd simple-templates-project

- mkdir templates/simple-groovy/
- Add a VERSION file in the folder "templates/simple-groovy". The VERSION file should contain the template version.
- Add a README.md file in the same folder, the README file should contain the template project description.
- Add a build.gradle file in the folder to build the template project.
