The only real change here is the addition of a Transformer that hooks into
Storm's `storm jar` command and will merge the dependent jars. This was done
so that we could avoid touching the Parser infrastructure and have as minimal
impact on the effort around 777 as possible. In order to remove this
functionality, we would need only revert the shell scripts.
The remainder of the functionality is cleaning up a bit in the REST code.
