Java developer are mostly comfortable with maven project structure. One one the main concept behind maven is convention. If you follow the maven project convention then your development team will get more effective as they now this project structure and can easily find the production code versus the test code. In this pull request I have structured the java project around 2 main parts: * the `flatbuffers` project. This project is the api / lib project and contains the test code structure + an example of code generation for testing. This avoid to commit generated code. Pre-configure JUnit for test driven development and make this project OSGi compliant. * the `jmh` project. This project aims to provide a placeholder for micro-benchmarking. JMH is a 'de facto' standard for micro benchmarking you can find more details here: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jmh/ For now I didn't move the JavaTest class but it could be a next step with a migration to the JUnit framework. The only impacts are the move of the class and the project structure => no code change.
FlatBuffers 
FlatBuffers is an efficient cross platform serialization library for games and other memory constrained apps. It allows you to directly access serialized data without unpacking/parsing it first, while still having great forwards/backwards compatibility.

Integration
For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked.
This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string
(flatbuffer_version_string), and helps us continue to optimize it. Aside from
consuming a few extra bytes in your application binary, it shouldn't affect
your application at all. We use this information to let us know if FlatBuffers
is useful and if we should continue to invest in it. Since this is open
source, you are free to remove the version string but we would appreciate if
you would leave it in.
