Description

The work being done in QPID-5048 will add an initial Maven 3 build for the components in the current main java tree, subsequent to which we will look to split the tree apart to become more component oriented.

As part of the overall process we will also look to implement a Maven 3 build for the Java QMF tools, since these depend on e.g the Java client or the Java broker and currently utilise the output of their existing Ant build. In addition to adopting the new builds for the other components, this will additionally allow deploying them to Maven Central and make it easier to keep the QMF tools functioning.

This will be a more involved process for the QMF tools than those in QPID-5048, requiring layout changes to adopt a suitable structure in the repository around which to create the new build.
