Provide a way for Fiji's Build System to handle our pom.xml files without starting Maven

Description
The Fiji Build system (which is also used in the Script Editor for multi-file Java projects) is meant to be quite light-weight, yet we want it to handle IJ2, too (and eventually Mavenize the whole of Fiji).
Provide a simple class that can parse our pom.xml files (which are not really all that complicated) and perform two tasks: build the corresponding .jar files and run IJ2.

With the changes to system classpath vs. runtime classpath, the VerifyErrors are fixed now, aren't they?
Also, for the MiniMaven flag you could use just "--maven" instead since it is shorter to type.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to fixed
The VerifyErrors are indeed fixed now, and I can use Fiji Build to compile ImageJA (thanks to its new and shiny pom.xml), Image 5D, and the --mini-maven flag to compile IJ2.
There is still some work to do to build and install all IJ2 .jar files in one go, but that is more a Fiji ticket than anything else.
As to the name --maven, usually I would agree, but in this case, I would like to keep the "mini" as both a reminder to myself that I will not repeat the mistake of writing my own Make replacement again, and a reminder that Fiji Build needs to learn how to compile and install a bunch of .jar files from a catch-all pom.xml (such as IJ2's top-level one).

- Milestone changed from imagej-2.0.0-beta4 to imagej-2.0.0-beta2
Progress. The Fiji Build system has now gained a MiniMaven class which parses the pom.xml file hierarchy and can process the projects. The Fiji Build system automatically uses MiniMaven to build .jar files when it finds a pom.xml (but no Fakefile) in a submodule.
The MiniMaven class can actually do more, so the Fiji launcher also got the option --mini-maven. It can download the dependencies of, build, and run ImageJ (except for some VerifyError on _some_ setups, probably due to Javassist having problems with my ij.jar).
