Make building FEST modules easier

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From conversation with Jason Goodwin:
Building FEST is pretty ugly now. That is something we definitely must improve!

To build fest you need to get the whole 'fest' folder (the parent folder of
'fest-swing') from SVN. This 'fest' folder contains the local Maven repo,
the Maven ant tasks and the Ant file template (among other things). The
folder is big, and contains every single FEST module

Please follow these cumbersome and time consuming steps :(

1. In your Maven settings.xml file add
"<localRepository>D:/fest/m2/repository</localRepository>" (D:/fest) is
where I have the 'fest' folder from SVN
2. Although we use Ant, we also use Maven Ant tasks for dependency management
3. The ant file is ant-build.xml
4. The target is 'dist' to create a distributions (jars and sources)
5. 'dist' depends on 'test', but the test take some time to finish, you can
change the target to depend on 'compile' instead. Changes need to be made
in the build-template.xml (in the 'fest' folder.)

Set the module as a label, instead of being part of the title.

• Changed title: Make building FEST modules easier
• Added labels: Module-fest

I fixed it (at least, I hope.) Removed all the Ant stuff and cleaned up Maven's 
POMs.
