Build poi-examples.jar along with the other .jar files

Hi,
When building the latest POI from SVN (20090107), I noticed that

ant compile

will compile the classes in the build/examples-classes directory, but

ant jar

will NOT build poi-examples-3.5-beta5-20090117.jar in the build/dist directory.

This was an issue to me, because I wanted to run org.apache.poi.hssf.eventusermodel.examples.XLS2CSVmra from the command line. I modified build.xml and built the jar myself.

I have attached a patch that fixes this issue. Regards,

Georger

The example jar isn't built by default, as most people wouldn't want it, since they'll be editing the examples for their needs

I've added a new target, jar-examples, which will build a jar of the examples. In the event that you don't need to change any of the examples, and just want to run with them, then please use this :)
