[BUG] Face API library in Maven repository is outdated

Describe the bug The azure-faceapi-0.0.1-beta.jar and azure-cognitiveservices-faceapi-1.0.0-beta.jar files in the Maven repository are outdated (the latter was uploaded 20180518). As a result, classes like FaceAPIManager, used to authenticate to the Face service, are not available. Also, in https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/blob/master/README.md, in the section Cognitive Services/Vision/Face API, the Sources and Download links are outdated. The former gives me a 404. The latter gives me search results in the Maven repository that only include azure-faceapi-0.0.1-beta.jar.

Exception or Stack Trace

Test.java:7: error: cannot find symbol
            FaceAPI client = FaceAPIManager.authenticate("westus", "subscriptionKey");
                             ^
  symbol:   variable FaceAPIManager
  location: class Test
1 error

To Reproduce

1. Save code snippet as Test.java.
2. Download azure-cognitiveservices-faceapi-1.0.0-beta.jar from https://search.maven.org/search?q=azure faceapi.
3. Open a command prompt.
4. Run: javac Test.java -cp azure-cognitiveservices-faceapi-1.0.0-beta.jar

Code Snippet

import com.microsoft.azure.cognitiveservices.vision.faceapi.*;
import com.microsoft.azure.cognitiveservices.vision.faceapi.models.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            FaceAPI client = FaceAPIManager.authenticate("westus", "subscriptionKey");
// Do something with client
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Expected behavior The code compiles.

Screenshots N/A

Setup (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 10 Pro 1803
• IDE: None
• Version of the Library used: 1.0.0-beta

Additional context I am able to make my code compile by doing the following.

1. Clone/download: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java
2. Install Maven (https://maven.apache.org/).
3. Add C:\Program Files\Maven\bin to your PATH environment variable.
4. At a command prompt or git-bash shell, browse to [download location]\azure-sdk-for-java-master\cognitiveservices\data-plane\vision\faceapi
5. Run: mvn package -f ./pom.xml
6. That generates azure-cognitiveservices-faceapi-1.0.2-beta.jar in a folder named “target”.
7. Compiling Test.java using this .jar file works as expected.
