We need to improve the support for logging and monitoring, so we get better data to work with. It's also good to support more ways of invoking services, e.g. something more REST-like. Hence, we should introduce objects that capture the content of a service request, that is used for answering the request and providing the response. The actual performance of a request is delegated to one or more executors that bridge to the internal services. All service endpoints should create these service objects and execute them using the executors. Logging and monitoring will use serialized forms of the service objects, e.g. in JSON format, instead of today's ad-hoc format.

Need javax.servlet in dependencies.

The project now requires java compiler 1.8. While the pom specifies 1.6.

The ResourcesService supports visiting the resources in a project, but only resources in packages. Currently this is done by traversing folders with specific names, as specified by ResourceHelper.SOURCE_FOLDER_NAMES and ResourceHelper.SOURCE_AND_TEST_FOLDER_NAMES. Instead, we should use tags in the EMFS file for the project, to determine which folders are considered resource folders. This requires defining official tags and providing them in the EMFS files used for creating projects. These should be defined and used in EmfsUtil.

Now we use a ResponseFormatter object, but it's not worth it providing our own Jackson-like abstraction. Might just as well use Jackson. We will anyway need it for logging and monitoring.
