Mark releases and offer WAR files

[PanderMusubi]

Please start tagging certain commits as releases and offer a WAR file for that release for the then current stable version of Ubuntu and LTS version. For now that would be current stable 17.04 (as of October 19th 17.10) and LTS 16.04.

Is it possible to create this WAR file generation automatically with a hook? Pre- or post-tag creation?

[PanderMusubi]

If releases are made, which is manual labour, adding a release build manually wouldn't be too much extra work.

It is possible to build a WAR file for each commit, for example with a continuous integration (CI) service such as Travis. that would serve as an extra check on each commit.

I currently cannot work on this due to a lack of time, but feel free to set up Travis on a fork of this project.
