Use non-deprecated appengine maven plugin for deploying portfolio

[andreahu12]

I might be wrong because I haven't set up billing for my experimental project (and therefore haven't deployed successfully), but following the instructions and trying to deploy with mvn appengine:update was failing with "Deployments using appcfg are no longer supported. See https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/deprecations"

To get further in the deployment process, I think it needs to use a non-deprecated plugin to deploy. Using mvn appengine:devserver only works for locally testing with the old plugin. mvn appengine:run can be used to test locally for both.

Current plugin (deprecated): https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-maven-plugin
New plugin (not-deprecated): https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/app-maven-plugin

Wow, thanks for catching this. I'm hoping to find an approach that makes it as easy as possible to deploy a local server, without needing to comment or uncomment anything. I wonder if there's a way to deploy a local server with the newer plugin? (I'm going to look into that on Monday, but let me know if you have any other ideas.)

[andreahu12]

No problem! The old plugin still works fine for deploying locally. It's deploying to a live server that isn't working with the old plugin.

Also you can deploy to a local server with the newer plugin using mvn appengine:run

Thanks again for looking into this. I'm going to merge this in as-is and then make some additional tweaks on top of it.
