[fedora-java] javapackages-tools 3.1.0 released - support for artifacts in build-classpath family

[Stanislav Ochotnicky]

As the subject mentions the main feature in new javapackages-tools is
improvement of build-classpath, build-jar-repository and related functions to
support Maven artifacts in form of:

    groupId:artifactId[:extension[:classifier]][:version]

You can also mix and match so this is valid:

    build-classpath junit:junit commons-lang

For Maven artifacts the dependencies are added transitively. This obviously
requires XMvn, but it's a soft requirement. As long as you don't use Maven
artifacts in the scripts that is...

Other things:
  * Support for SCLs in macros, scrips etc which needed serious rework so bugs
    may be present bug backward compatibility should be preserved
  * Man pages for RPM macros (also in previous release, just forgot to mention it)
  * 230 tests for pom_ macros, provides/requires generators, backend library,
    mvn_* scripts. More to come
