------------------------------------------

Regarding Sitemesh: This seems to require JSP, which we don't have in the Web Console (and which I am reluctant to add right now).

> Currently the web console can be extended by registering a javax.servlet.Servlet service with a special service property naming the label of the plugin. For ease of use (namely reusing the header and footer renderings), plugins must extend the AbstractWebConsolePlugin.
> The drawback of this requirement is, that any plugins require a class from the web console plugin. It would be better to just register a plain servlet which is rendered by the web console with headers and footers on behalf of the plugin.
