[hudson-dev] Upgrading Embedded Jetty Server to 8.x (from 6.x) in Hudson

[Winston Prakash <winston.prakash@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Duncan/Geoff,

I was looking at the possibility of upgrading Embedded Jetty Server from 
6.x to 8.x in Hudson 3.0.0. I have implemented it in a branch called 
"jetty-upgrade"

http://git.eclipse.org/c/hudson/org.eclipse.hudson.core.git/commit/?h=jetty-upgrade&id=8665339a0214b28e0afdc2b2015220eb68771a60

I believe we may have to do the upgrade due to two reasons

- Jetty 6.x was released from outside of Eclipse, so might require 
explicit approval from PMC
- Jetty 6.x has some security vulnerabilities which are fixed in 8.x

If I get a go then I'll merge the branch to master.
