Building the library

Since we'd like to be able to reuse this tool in other projects, we'll start by building a library that exposes its functionality. All of the functionality we'll need is built into the platform, so our POM file is very simple:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
    <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
