Support building old-style WO .framework bundles (for use with ant) #14

We've already implemented maven style jar-bundled frameworks (see #4).

But wolifecycle doesn't just create a jar framework for ues with maven, it also builds the old style SomeFramework.framework folder for use with ant projects. These folders are essentially identical to the structure of the jar, except they also contain the Resources/Java directory that contains the framework's java sources, plus any added libraries.

Although I'm not extremely excited about the older style, It's probably prudent to do both, so a mavenized project (e.g. Wonder) can generate frameworks for use by Ants.

Hot take: let's not do this. You're living in the past, man. We should be encouraging a Maven-only toolchain, not providing a crutch for Ant. Adding this will then create an obligation to maintain it.

What do you think of that view?

I like the way you think. And you're absolutely right. I have no idea why I'm writing out an old style build no one asked for.
