Have rest endpoint display a note when no rest extensions are installed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-3901
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3901
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: REST
Affects Versions: 2.0.1
Environment: UI
Reporter: Mike Pumphrey
Assignee: David Winslow
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.0.2
When you navigate to: http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest and no REST extension is installed, all you see is "GeoServer Configuration API". People consistently wonder what to do when they get to this screen, and it should be more informative and say that they are missing an extension.
David continues:
"""
The rest/ base url is actually the root for any and all rest extensions that are installed, (and rest extensions aside from restconfig do exist, such as the Scriptlet rest extension for running JavaScript scripts as rest extensions, or the sld color ramp generator). So it should probably read "No rest extensions installed" when no endpoints are detected instead of just a blank list.
