SlidingMenu SlidingMenu into Maven central

To make it easier to start using SlidingMenu it would be great if it was available through Maven central. Any users using Maven can add SlidingMenu to their project using a couple of lines of XML. Any users of the new Android build system by Google can also easily pull artifacts from Maven central.

The way for open source projects to get into Maven Central is by being synced from the Sonatype OSS repository. This involves GPG signing the artifacts and uploading the artifacts. It is appropriate for the project owner (@jfeinstein10) to do this himself. What needs to be done is detailed at https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide

This pull request prepares for this by adhering to the requirements of the Sonatype OSS repository.

Some notes:

Needs Jeremy's email in the parent pom.
Changed the groupId of the project because Jeremy does not own slidingmenu.com
Made sure the build attaches source and javadoc jars
Removed maps support because you cannot refer to the maps.jar since it is not present in Maven central.
Reordered pom.xml elements according to http://maven.apache.org/developers/conventions/code.html

I hope this makes it a bit easier for Jeremy to get SlidingMenu into central.

Although would there need to be two versions? One with and one without SherlockActionBar support?

@jfeinstein10 Let us know if you need any assistance deploying this to Central. If you create an account on Sonatype (https://oss.sonatype.org/index.html#welcome) I'm sure there will be someone volunteering to help you.

I've been talking with Donn Felker about this for a while and I just pulled the last piece of the puzzle. He's going to walk me through the process in the next couple days. Hold tight!

That's great news!

@jfeinstein10 @donnfelker Will you need anything from this pull request or should I delete it to clean up some of the open pull requests for this project?

Any updates on this? This has been the only non-maven dependency I have left that has to be manually managed.

I think the maps removal, but I'm not sure. My maven move to push for maven was simply to get to stage one ... JUST GET IT UP THERE, and then we can refine. @jfeinstein10 any update on the maven central setup?
