This PR fixes #1056.

Implemented changes:

  • centralised plugin management
  • deleted RTF from git
  • convert LICENSE from adoc to docbook
  • convert LICENSE from docbook to RTF

ATTENTION: For conversion from docbook to RTF I am using docbkx-maven-plugin.
This plugin and its entire ecosystem (net.sf.xslthl, net.sf.docbook and net.sf.offo) are dead and unmaintained for years (decades).
The process fails with this error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.agilejava.docbkx:docbkx-maven-plugin:2.0.17:generate-rtf (docbook-to-rtf) on project ide-cli: Execution docbook-to-rtf of goal com.agilejava.docbkx:docbkx-maven-plugin:2.0.17:generate-rtf failed: Cannot invoke "org.apache.fop.fo.pagination.Flow.getFlowName()" because the return value of "org.apache.fop.fo.pagination.PageSequence.getMainFlow()" is null -> [Help 1]

I do not see that this approach will lead to a working solution.
Even creating a big in their issue/tracker on sourceforge seems pointless since nobody will read it...
