support external template sets

[russ]

there should be an easy way to include external template sets in a build/package.

• get rid of the existing head/journals folders (where do ambra and override journals go then?)
• stop building journal template jars that are then overridden in the filesystem. we should just used the filesystem.
• it should be possible to drop template folders into a running system
• there should be a maven build target that includes external template sets
• there should be a teamcity build target that includes plos template sets

[russ]

also currently required:

• an edit to struts.xml to include the struts-template.xml file

After looking at the state of the ambra.xml configuration file, I suspect that we need to do a lot more cleanup here. I think ambra.xml needs to be made the commons configuration ConfigurationFactory? configuration file to allow it to add or override settings easily. This will allow us to pull out definitions into multiple files (for example, each journal setup is in another configuration file). Please see  Configuration.

If the quick fix was half a days work, we would do it, but I suspect any quick fix will probably take as much as doing it well. If we get resources freed up we will do it for 0.9, else right after. Increasing priority though.

(In [5570]) moving (almost) everything out of journals/ambraJournal and into root

addresses #919 address #855

we'll work towards removing the need for a default journal at all.

We should look at the new CAS build set-up to see if we can follow the same concept here.

Moving to 0.9.3_rc2 as part of the template cleanup.

template cleanup rescheduled for 0.9.3_rc3

(In [7771]) Remove the need to build journal template jar files. Instead, templates are placed under directory specified in ambra.virtualJournals.templateDir configuration paramater.

• Each journal is placed under journals/journal-name
• Journal configuration file is placed in journals/journal-name/configuration/journal.xml
• Freemarker templates and static resources (images, css, javascript, etc) are placed under journals/journal-name/webapp

Deployment can be done directly from version control system if ambra.virtualJournals.templateDir is set to point to source head directory.

They will be installed in /usr/local/ambrta/templates directory.
