Preparation for the 4.0 release

The release date for version 4.0 has been set for August 10th.

1. The examples currently have the hibernate, client and server dist projects temporarily remove. As is the hibernate plugin itself.

2. Have removed the webapp directory and files as these are provided by the html viewer. Will ensure the css is copied to the resource directory so there is a template to replace it with.

webapp/
|-- default.css
`-- images
    |-- banner-bg.png
    `-- banner.png

3. The archetype-template has been replace by the archetype itself as it requires too much processing to create the archetype from the template and install the archetype. In future any major changes should probably follow the pattern of recreating the archetype template from the archetype, modifying it and then using create-from-project to recreate the new archetype ready for installing. So now the building of the distribution module include the installing of the archetype.

4. The applib creates a JavaDoc? jar (for that project only) and the tarball module then includes the extracted contents in the distribution file. The full JavaDocs? is not generated and added due to its enormous size (for the core it was about 60MB uncompressed and this would quadruple the maven download size).

5. The ant based projects (as included with the for-ant distrbution) have been updated and fixed.
