Finally! Maven works a lot better. (1) create single jar with all dependencies. This is a much larger jar, but it is directly portable to another system... just use -cf and point to the floodlightdefault.properties file. (2) reduce unit test log verbosity... drastically. (3) include version and name in manifest for new version REST API. Note this also includes the web interface in the jar if the web interface submodule has been fetched prior to building the controller.

This is a huge commit. Lots of (good) stuff has been added and updated. First and foremost, OpenFlow 1.5 is now supported (yay) via a major update to OpenFlowJ-Loxi. This update necessitated the update of the Static Flow Pusher module and MatchUtils, ActionUtils, and InstructionUtils to support the newly-added features. This prompted me to explore the SFP to see if there was anything that could be improved. First thing that came to mind was adding support to push OpenFlow groups in addition to flows, thus group support has been added to the SFP via JSON, which is the format that should have been used in the first place. Action lists will be updated in the near future to be JSON instead of one massive ',', '=', and '->' delimited string. Thus, the Static Flow Pusher has been renamed the StaticEntryPusher, since it now encompasses groups. While groups were being added to the SFP (ahem...SEP), a number of optimizations were made to the SEP code, greatly reducing its complexity (IMHO). The support for OpenFlow meters can now be added rather trivially in the future, if desired. Last thing to note about the SEP is the work-in-progress addition of a 'schema' API to allow northbound applications to get information about SEP syntax. This is not complete yet, but the skeleton code is in place. Next thing in this pull request is miscellaneous changes throughout the controller, primarily in (de)serializers and REST APIs to support OpenFlow 1.5. Next item of business is the removal of the DebugEventService. This is an artifact of days past and need not clutter the controller anymore. Same goes for the TestModule; now that we have better tutorials and documentation on the wiki, an example isn't necessary. And, last but not least, some old libraries that weren't being used have now been removed.

Updated to Java 8, junit-4.12, easymock-3.4. Still having trouble having unit tests pass in Eclipse for DeviceManagerImplTest, but they work find in maven and ant. testPacketInBasic and testPacketInBasicIPv6 are the trouble makers (fail occasionally).
