[Fiware-middleware] Kiaragen

[Dmitri Rubinstein]

Hi guys,

seems that everything finally works now.

We have feature-serialization-merge branch in the KIARA repository that 
is current release candidate. Please everybody, who can, clone it and 
check. Both Maven and Gradle should work, build and test all the stuff. 
When everything works I will finally merge it with the master branch.

Rafael implemented serialization test and I finished Calculator 
integration tests which now includes:

Synchronous test
Synchronous parallel test (Synchronous calls with multiple threads)
Asynchronous test

Unit Testing Plan document is here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/139MJwomBAAKt0s2xMvkMtEkdcBW-_AczJTANpveRVxo/edit

Please enter your tests.

I still need to implement a pure transport test, hopefully I can finish 
it tomorrow.

@Rafael: I found a way to fix TransportMessageDispatcher without 
serialization API changes. However, in future release we will need to 
modify API since precomputing size of the ByteBuffer will not work well 
with the text-based protocols like JSON-RPC.

@Rafael: I did small modifications in the KIARAProxy.stg, it is pushed 
already to kiaragen and tested with KIARA. Please check last commit.

@Christof: I fixed gradle build script for kiaragen tool so it can be 
used from the command line:

run:

gradle installApp

then kiaragen application is in build/install/kiaragen.

run for generating source code:

build/install/kiaragen/bin/kiaragen -example gradle -d OUT Calculator.idl

Best,

Dmitri
