Add a static Boot App to host and serve OOTB Apps about spring-cloud-dataflow-samples HOT 6 CLOSED

Here's an example static App, but to host Skipper packages. It's the same concept - we can drop any file/JARs in the static directory.

from spring-cloud-dataflow-samples.

Initial implementation in https://github.com/dturanski/scdf-app-tool. Per @markpollack - we don't want to publish binary distributions to a git repo. The dist is currently packaged as currently *.zip, *.tar.bz2, *.tar.gz, each containing the Spring Shell tool to import and manage the repo contents, the task and stream properties files and the source for the Spring Boot application that will serve the static resources. There is a precedent (e.g., Spring XD) for publishing these archives to repo.spring.io. I'm fine with that. The current maven coordinates are

<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>scdf-app-tool</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>

Maybe we can come up with a better name than scdf-app-tool. The tool is what a developer uses to build the scdf-app-repo. IMHO, this is specific to SCDF. Even though the apps are not, the use case is to register apps in SCDF in situations where the environment does not support access to an external Maven repo. Since we are publishing to Maven the artifactId is important. The pom needs to be updated to publish the binaries, so we should agree on the name first.

Also, this doesn't fit into any of the existing git repos, so we should create a new one which will likely be the same as the artifactId or something like spring-cloud-dataflow-tools

Github is actually an option... https://help.github.com/articles/about-releases/

• Just did this in my repo. If this is acceptable, would be the simplest solution
