Clarify NEO smart contract java development

[peterszatmary]

I was not able to create hello world smart contract with neo-devpack-java.

1. maybe documentation is old
2. or in neo-devpack-java are some java files missing

Documentation tells us to extends our smart contracts with FunctionCode or VerificationCode.

Example from doc

import AntShares.SmartContract.Framework.FunctionCode;
import AntShares.SmartContract.Framework.Services.AntShares.Storage;

public class HelloWorld extends FunctionCode{
    public static byte[] Main(String[] args){
        Storage.Put(Storage.getCurrentContext(), "Greeting to the World", "Hello World!");
        return Storage.Get(Storage.getCurrentContext(),"Greeting to the World");
    }
}

Neo-devpack-java doesnt contain this files.

Link to Antshares.SmartContract.Framework JAR by documentation is broken.

I found one issue telling that Antshares.SmartContract.Framework JAR is compiled from neo-devpack-java.

If so than above mentioned documentation is old or neo-devpack-java is missing java files.
