Integrate Apache Geode and Jetty 11

[jxblum]

Spring Boot for Apache Geode 2.0 is based on Spring Boot 3.0, which declares and manages Eclipse Jetty 11, which is necessary to align with Jakarta EE 9 (see here).

However, Apache Geode 1.14.x (here) is based on Eclipse Jetty 9 (here), which does not match nor align with Spring Boot 3.0 and potentially causes issues for users building Spring Boot, Web applications based on the Jakarta EE 9 specification.

This task is to align Apache Geode's Eclipse Jetty dependency with Spring Boot 3.0.

Currently, when Apache Geode 1.14.x is upgraded to Eclipse Jetty 11 (matching Spring Boot 3.0 and the Jakarta EE 9 specification), then the following log message is output in the Apache Geode peer Cache node's log:

2022-04-13 21:07:20,782  WARN geode.internal.cache.InternalHttpService:  86 - 
Could not enable HttpService: 'void org.eclipse.jetty.server.SslConnectionFactory.<init>(org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory, java.lang.String)'

This log messages is output when Apache Geode's embedded HTTP service (HttpService), when based on Eclipse Jetty 11, is initialized on startup.

Upon closer analysis (debugging), the underlying root cause of the problem is:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void org.eclipse.jetty.server.SslConnectionFactory.<init>(org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl.SslContextFactory, java.lang.String)'
