Comment:

 Neat!  Thanks for writing and submitting this patch!

 I made some tweaks in my
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/karsten/onionoo.git/shortlog/refs/heads/task-13089
 task-13089 branch] that are supposed to be squashed with your commit.

 Here are some more comments for things I didn't fix/change yet:
  - Your first command line for the backend above should be `java -Xmx4096M
 -jar dist/onionoo-1.1.1.jar`.
  - I didn't manage to start the server with your second command line.
 Logs contain this line: "Web application not found onionoo-1.1.1.war".
 Hmm.  Maybe we're not supposed to create a .war for the front-end, but
 also a .jar?!...
  - Do you mind updating `vagrant/bootstrap.sh` by removing Tomcat
 specifics and installing `libjetty8-java`?  Anything else that needs
 changing?
  - Would you also want to update `INSTALL` by replacing the last section
 with new instructions?
  - It seems that the `run` Ant target is not required anymore, and
 `bin/update.sh` needs updating, too.
  - Are really all `jetty8-*.jar` files required?  Did you try taking out
 some of them?
  - I wonder if copying `logback.xml` can be avoided in `build.xml`.  Or if
 possible, is it possible to avoid copying it to directories which
 otherwise contain files under version control (`etc/`)?
  - Can you explain why you switched from `<lib>` to `<zipgroupfileset>`
 and from `<classes>` to `<fileset>`?  I assume this is related to all-in-
 one jars?
  - Should we exclude test classes from generated .jar and .war files?  I
 think I found test classes in both of them.
  - Should both back-end and front-end really log to the same files, or
 should we separate those?

 Thanks, again!
