Quick-start a Protege 5 plugin with maven and git

You can very quickly start a new plugin using maven and git. The strategy is to use git to clone a project that has a very minimal plugin template and then to start modifying this project to make it your own. The first step is to clone the template into a project directory of your choice: 

      git clone https://github.com/stdotjohn/org.protege.plugin.template my.plugin

Note that if you are prompted for a password, it might mean that you mispelled the git repository that you are cloning. At this point you can immediately start building the plugin and start testing it. But there are two other things that we should do first in order to make this plugin your own. This project comes with a ReadMe.txt file that includes

First we need to make some small changes to the pom.xml file. Look for Change me! in the pom.xml file. At this time there is only one small section that needs updating that needs updating. In its original form it looks like this: 

	<!-- Change me! 

         The next five properties should probably be customized for
         your project.  If you don't know what to use for groupId,
         don't worry, you can deal with that when you are ready for maven.
