Question

Is there any way to create a plugin using maven type project instead of standalone project as suggest by documentation.

Hi Hari, 
 
This can be done but better to go with the traditional one for now because it will create directory structure for you in both the cases when you create the project as well as when you bundled with jar. 
 
Otherwise if you are decided to use then please customize local maven version to accommodate Appian type of facility. like when you want to create an spring project then you may use mvn spring_project some thing like this so this will create Maven project with spring libraries like wise I guess we can customize the maven to build the folder structure on simple command run. 
 
Thanks

Yes, this can be done, you just need to ensure that the packaging of the jar created is same as suggested in documentation.

pom.xml has options to make sure the bundled jar has the en_Us property file, appian plugin xml file at the very same place as mentioned in document.
