Description

https://twitter.com/gz_k/status/693822039984095232. In particular start-class should be better documented I think. And we also need to make more clear that the repackage goal is invoked automatically.

Research direction

Start with the documentation covering the starter-parent and its inherited plugins. Review the references to start-class and the repackage goal, then clarify that repackage runs automatically and explain how start-class is used. The documentation is done when both behaviors are explicit to users.
