Maven dependency and build management

[anba]

I've created some Maven configuration files to build Rhino through Maven (in addition to Ant). The changes are meant to give users a drop-in replacement for Ant without requiring to apply any other Maven specific changes, such as, for example, switching to the Maven standard directory layout.

I like the idea of adding dependency management, but why not go for something a little more concise like gradle that uses maven under the hood?

@sghill I don't have any issues as far as you provide an actually working patch

[sghill]

@pose Awesome.

Should we get a few of the pull requests sorted before changing the build system? The failing test on OS X in particular (issue #111) shook my confidence that I knew how to build rhino before trying it on fedora.

Right, but you're a member of the Rhino community and that counts for
something :)

Yes, I agree :)

The current version of Rhino in master now supports building using Gradle. That has worked better than Maven because we are better able to support our legacy stuff.
