I just realized that Jigsaw is actually a web server, so that's not 
surprising if it doesn't build with the Servlet API 4.0.

But this raises another question: why a 20 year old unmaintained web 
server is necessary? Is it possible to do without it?

It's also about avoiding extra work in the future for maintaining a 
package that may not be used.
