Release Note

This patch introduces a new infrastructure for creation and maintenance of Maven archetypes in the context of the hbase project, and it also introduces the first archetype, which end-users may utilize to generate a simple hbase-client dependent project.

NOTE that this patch should introduce two new WARNINGs ("Using platform encoding ... to copy filtered resources") into the hbase install process. These warnings are hard-wired into the maven-archetype-plugin:create-from-project goal. See hbase/hbase-archetypes/README.md, footnote [6] for details.

After applying the patch, see hbase/hbase-archetypes/README.md for details regarding the new archetype infrastructure introduced by this patch. (The README text is also conveniently positioned at the top of the patch itself.)

Here is the opening paragraph of the README.md file:
=================
The hbase-archetypes subproject of hbase provides an infrastructure for creation and maintenance of Maven archetypes pertinent to HBase. Upon deployment to the archetype catalog of the central Maven repository, these archetypes may be used by end-user developers to autogenerate completely configured Maven projects (including fully-functioning sample code) through invocation of the archetype:generate goal of the maven-archetype-plugin.
========
The README.md file also contains several paragraphs under the heading, "Notes for contributors and committers to the HBase project", which explains the layout of 'hbase-archetypes', and how archetypes are created and installed into the local Maven repository, ready for deployment to the central Maven repository. It also outlines how new archetypes may be developed and added to the collection in the future.
