jaxme jelly tag library

[robert burrell donkin <rd...@apache.org>]

(for those who don't know) jelly is a tool for turning xml into 
executable code. it's more flexible than ant (since it's a true 
scripting language) and useful for gluing together complex builds.

i've add a new page called resources (intended for links to resources 
that users of jaxme may find useful) and added a section about and a 
link to the jaxme jelly tag library to it. the website hasn't been 
updated yet, so those who don't fancy building from source will have to 
be patient.

jelly is also used by maven (at least for maven 1). (i'd describe maven 
as a declarative project management system.) i'd like to add a maven 
plugin (which would allow JaxMe to be easily integrated into maven 
based builds) somewhere in the jaxme CVS project so long as other 
people are happy with that idea.

dunno

1 i'm not that plugins should really be part of the core build. it's 
also possible later that people might want to create plugins for other 
stuff (eclipse, say). one common solution is to have a separate 
subdirectory called 'contrib', plugins (or something).

2 maven plugins are typically built with maven so it's reasonable to 
assume that anyone interested in the maven plugin would already have 
maven installed.
