bot-dialogs package

[tracyboehrer]

Requires microsoft.recognizers.text, which hasn't been released to Maven: https://github.com/Microsoft/Recognizers-Text/tree/master/Java

The options are:

1. Manually clone and build the recognizers (Preview Only, but we'd have issues with PR's)
2. Configure Maven to use JitPack, which produces a package during the build by cloning and building behind the scene. It is free for open source projects. (Preview Only)
3. Finalize and release recognizers (Required for GA)

Hi @tracyboehrer. Any progress or eta on Bot-Dialogs implementation? Thx.

[tracyboehrer]

@egorovpavel We haven't made anymore progress on the port that was started. Realistically, we're probably looking at around the end of the 1st quarter 2021 before we can GA the Java SDK, which would include Dialog.
