The project version in the current POM file contains a placeholder that is replaced during Maven's execution. However, Maven repositories read the version from the POM file.
This PR reads the version from package.json and updates the version in the POM file. Afterwards the build process and the deployment can proceed as usual.
The instructions for deploying, found in RELEASE.md, were correspondingly updated.
