Add D2-REST controller support to a plugin project

If a D2SV plugin intends to deploy new D2-REST endpoints in addition to the factory endpoints, then this option of the workspace assistant comes in handy.

Upon successful execution, this option, can add a boilerplate REST controller definition to the plugin such that the controller handles HTTP GET(Retrieve), POST(Create), DELETE(Delete) operation on the specified endpoint resource matching part of the CRUD style transaction.

The complete URL path of the endpoint created is represented as -

/D2-Smartview/repositories/<repo_name>/<group_name>/<endpoint_name>

caution

Use this option when at least one plugin project exists in the workspace.
