Viewer does not work on Linux

Jetty component required for viewer is missing. I tried this in Eclipse 4.14 and 4.19 RC1. The viewer hasn’t worked on Linix since 4.6. Bugzilla entry: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=517662. The bugzilla entry doesn’t explicitly state that it’s a Linux issue but that’s been my experience.

Confirmed the viewer works now once I installed jetty.

There is a different issue to look at how we handle Jetty. So we have a work around and I want to have a closed issue. 😃 Duplicate of #621
