[Building Sakai] Jenkins deployment issue

[Qu, Yuanhua]

We, Txstate University, have fully build/deploy our local sakai "TRACS"
instance on dev environment and plan to do the similar thing on staging
environment.

Basically, it builds up all the binaries including tomcat servers and
other setups to make a tar ball and then deploy to our dev server and
untar it and start the server.

We haven't use Jenkins for production deployment though.
