Description

Static asset registration with our HTTP server is somewhat complicated, requiring a manual mapping to be made from the request to match, and the classpath entry to serve. Jetty has built-in support for serving static assets out of a directory on the classpath, which would reduce all of our asset binding code to a few lines. It also opens the doors to easy extension of the web interface at runtime by adding to the classpath, and would also reduce iteration time when developing the web interface.
