Project fully mavenized with functionality exceeding previous Ant build.xml implemented (except deployment to servlet container, which can be easily added).

Improved unit tests to be independent of externally running servlet container, now every test runs its own embedded jetty server (and stops it afterward).

Removed all eclipse artifacts (.project, .classpath, .settings, etc.) and added to .gitignore to be independent of development environment (can be autogenerated by maven, or better yet use m2eclipse).

Removed embedded dependency jars since they are handled automatically by maven.
