Description

Previously, starting our various webapps, would simply be dependent on the presence of the .war file. Anyone building and testing a Geode would typically not care whether theses additional services were available and would not notice their absence.

Now we have a new HttpService which will attempt to start regardless of the presence of any .war files. This now also implies that various jetty jars need to be available. When building with maven or gradle, the necessary dependencies are marked as optional which means that a vanilla built app (configured without those optional dependencies) will not start.
