Transformer Maven Plugin

[dblevins]

@jgallimore has written a Maven Plugin that allows you to transform the artifacts produced and re-attach them to the Maven module with a new classifier of your choosing.

Here's what the plugin configuration looks like:

      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.tomitribe.transformer</groupId>
        <artifactId>transformer-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.0.8</version>
        <configuration>
          <classifier>jakartaee9</classifier>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <goal>run</goal>
            </goals>
            <phase>package</phase>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

This is currently living in a fork that needs to be rebased to the new repo location so we can submit a PR. The groupId org.tomitribe.transformer is temporary just so we can ensure we'll be able to have a release of it far before the TomEE release before the Jakarta EE 9 milestone release.

If others really want this badly now "asap" we can try to prioritize a PR for it. We're currently heads down.

Does @jgallimore have any documentation for the plugin? Ideally in standard maven plugin documentation format, but just some examples would be better than nothing.
