Git now ignores .idea, .svn, and target folders.

Paul, this is just a test pull request.   I noticed you might be using Subversion for your source control.  If so, and this project is just a copy of your actual repo, then you can ignore this pull request or you can try it out as a test.     I won't be offended if you reject the pull request.  It is your project, after all.   I see a few more things I can improve in your pom.xml  and with your overall Maven project layout, after I get to know your code a little bit better, of course.
