[ice-dev] Updated VisIt client build

[Jay Jay Billings <jayjaybillings@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hari,

I have modified the VisIt Java client build to work as a standalone build outside of the ICE build. This is important because right now it depends on ICE to build and likewise ICE must manually build its source code to build the internal plugins. With the new build, it will build on its own and install to a p2 site like this one:

http://eclipseice.ornl.gov/downloads/visit_java_client/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/p2/

This lets us, as well as your clients, just point to this p2 site, which is much, much easier than modifying our builds. We can also configure a nightly build and push so that this is always updated.

What do you think? I wanted to ask you to take a look at it before I push to master. Here's my branch:
