[jdom-interest] Making a new release

[BIHANIC, LAURENT]

Hi,

I cloned the project from Github and gave it a try.
Ouch, Ant! Seems like centuries ago!

Anyway, once I skipped the GPG part, the Ant build completed while some unit
tests actually failed:

- TestSAXBuilder : No real issue (for some obscure reason, the file returned
by FilecreateTempFile() differs from getCanonicalFile() on macOS)

- TestStAXEventOutputter (5 errors), TestStAXOutputter2Writer (1),
TestStAXReader2Writer (2), TestStAXStreamOutputter (6) all fail for either
namespace issues or incorrect surrogate pair encoding in ISO-8859-1

Are these StAX issues new?
Can anyone have a look and fix them?

As I'm no longer that comfortable with Ant these days, I forked the project
and attempted a quick migration to Maven. It's available here:
https://github.com/lbihanic/jdom

I created 4 Maven modules (jdom2-parent, jdom2 (core), jdom2-contrib,
jdom2-samples) and made minimal code restructuring (to follow Maven standard
directory structure) and redispatching (code from the previous "test"
directory moved to either "core" and "contrib" test directories).

Would this help?
