Standalone Launchpad does not start on trunk

When starting the standalone launchpad it can fail with the error below. Whether or not you see this depends a little on the version of org.apache.felix.http.jetty that you have in your local .m2 directory.

This is caused by the fact that in org.apache.felix.http.jetty version 2.3 the API bundles have been split off.

The error is:
