So I previously spent hours upon hours setting this up for a school project, and I figured that I would save other people that pain. Feel free to use this for whatever, I don't care.

Some cool technologies this uses:

• Jersey - Rest API
• Guice - Dependency Injection
• Gradle - Building
• Jetty - Servlet Container
• Jackson - JSON serialization and deserialization
• Webjars - Serving up web-side libraries

To startup the server with Jetty, just run this from the terminal in the root directory of the project: ./gradlew jettyRun
