Description

The DM gradle project structure has been enhanced (see [1]) and I'd like to merge the enhancements in the felix trunk.

Mainly:

• all build time binary dependencies are now downloaded from maven central using the bndtools "aQute.bnd.repository.maven.provider.MavenBndRepository".
• The gradle wrapper is not commited anymore and is downloaded by the "gradlew" scripts.
• Fixed some issues in the release/build.gradle script, which now allows to interactively specify the PGP key when calling the "gradlew signStaging" task

The consequence of this is that we don't need anymore to deliver a "-deps.zip" bundle which was containing so far build-time binary dependencies.
