Document development setup for Exhibitor

[rokka-n]

Can somebody explain how this project is supposed to be build?

I wanted to make a simple change in one of the classes, but producing working jar file is next to impossible.

The code on master is now built with Maven. So, normal Maven commands to build the JAR (e.g. mvn clean install). What you do next depends on what kind of artifact you want. If you want the standalone version see here: https://github.com/soabase/exhibitor/wiki/Building-Exhibitor

I wanted to quickly patch the app because it's breakes for "special" aws regions. And then discovered that local developmented is not explained well. Especially for those who are not java developers :)

So details of the local dev cycle is still a puzzle to. Somehow I managed to build new version. I found that pom.xml in root folder should have something like 1.5.7-SNAPSHOT, so gradle (or was it mvn?) can produce 1.5.7-SNAPSHOT-.jar in local .m2 cache. So then it can be packaged as app in target/exhibitor-1.5.7-SNAPSHOT.jar Also repo should be checked out as v1.5.6 tag? Not sure, but master and tagged branches are two different thing.

We should probably add a doc explaining how to setup local dev environment in terms of developing Exhibitor itself.
