Build and deploy a Java application as a CICS bundle using Maven

It's easy to transform an existing Maven-built Java application to be deployed in IBM CICS Transaction Server (CICS TS) by packaging it in a CICS bundle.

This short tutorial takes a sample app and modifies the Maven build to wrap it in a CICS bundle that can be built and pushed to an artifact repository. Then, we also deploy the CICS bundle straight from the Maven build to CICS, to test it out.
