Description

Add Jitpack support.

 

This will allow maven/gradle users to consume the java library without having to wait for it to be appear on maven central. (0.12.0 is still not available). It would also enable users to target the master branch (or any other branch for that matter).

 

The only thing that has to be done is to add a jitpack.yml config file in the project root directory with the following content:

install:
  - gradle -p lib/java/ clean install

The only problem I see is that the 0.12.0 has to be updated to include this file (if jitpack users should be able to access that release)

 

See https://jitpack.io/#markaren/thrift for how this would work.
