Maven plugin(s) for IIB compilation and BAR builds

Maven plugin to allow for compilations of IBM Integration Bus “artifacts”. Maven plugin to allow for the packaging (i.e. BAR file creation) of Applications and Libraries.

Not sure if this can be in one plug-in or seperate plugins.
Maven separates compilation, packaging, and deployment into distinct and discrete steps (or phases as it's called in Maven (within the Default lifecycle).

IIB constraints are the following:
*. No seperation between compile and package steps - compilation is spread across the following - via the Toolkit build feature, building of the bar file, deployment of the bar file.
*. Compilation process (and the BAR build process) relies on the IIB Toolkit even if it's done via mqsi command.
*. No java API exposed for the compilation process and the BAR build process; it must be done either via IIB Toolkit UI or an mqsi command

    RFE Review. Although we have not yet managed to prioritize the implementation of this feature we continue to monitor its popularity.
    Note that there has been a blog on this issue: https://developer.ibm.com/integration/blog/2019/04/10/ibm-ace-v11-continuous-integration-maven-jenkins/
    Some of this collateral is also being worked on for publication to the OT4I community on github.com
    Status of the RFE is maintained as Uncommitted Candidate.

    Thanks; Maven is an important (and widely used) tool for IIB and we'd love to add direct support for it within the product.
