Add Apache license header to all new classes

Update Apache license header in modified files as necessary

Always check the date range in the license header. For example, if you've modified a file in 2015 whose header still reads:

/*
 * Copyright 2002-2011 the original author or authors.

Then be sure to update it to 2016 accordingly:

/*
 * Copyright 2002-2016 the original author or authors.

Use @since tags for newly-added public API types and methods

For example:

/**
 * ...
 *
 * @author First Last
 * @since 1.1
 * @see ...
 */

Prepare Your Commit

Submit JUnit test cases for all behavior changes

Search the codebase to find related tests and add additional @Test methods as appropriate. It is also acceptable to submit test cases on a per JIRA issue basis, for example:

package org.openhubframework.openhub.test;

/**
 * Unit tests for OHF-123.
 *
 * @author FirstName LastName
 */
public class Ohf123Tests {

    @Test
    public void cornerOhf123() {
        // ...
    }
}

Squash commits

Use git rebase --interactive --autosquash, git add --patch, and other tools to "squash" multiple commits into a single atomic commit. In addition to the man pages for git, there are many resources online to help you understand how these tools work. The Rewriting History section of Pro Git provides a good overview.

We strongly recommend discussing any serious submissions with the OpenHub Framework team prior to engaging in serious development work.
 
Issue: OHFJIRA-4

Laying the foundation stone of redesigned admin GUI
 
Created new maven module 'admin-console-client' as module that holds all web resources of OpenHub admin console.
A build is realised with frontend-plugin. Only basic structure is created under src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/.
Location of resources is created with regard to scalability and customisation of build.


- source root dir for web resources is src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/
