As Robbie noted, the REST interface was removed in 2.26.0. You can find the
original discussion regarding removal here [1].

As I understand it, here are the essential reasons for removing it:
 - The dependencies had fallen woefully out-of-date and nobody was willing
to put in the effort to fix them since there were some breaking changes
along the way.
 - The STOMP protocol is ubiquitous, simple, standardized, and can be used
in almost every circumstance and environment where REST might be used.
 - REST messaging is not portable because there's no standard messaging API
for REST. This is generally bad for users as it locks them in to a specific
broker.
 - For simple use-cases (e.g. basic send & receive) it's easy these days to
create your own REST interface and then implement messaging behind that.
Since the REST interface is in the user's control then portability isn't an
issue.
 - It's a bit of a pain to set up as it requires manually building a WAR
file. This wasn't a great user experience and limited adoption.

You are, of course, still free to use the REST interface WAR from 2.25.0
with any newer version.
