Why this plugin?

Because running a web application in Eclipse should be as simple as 'clicking run'. No additional setup required.

The difference with WTP Jetty Integration

I(Tony) think there are some benefits to use Run-Jetty-Run instead of WTP:

• Performance

WTP always copy all the resources to a temp folder , that slow down the process and you have to stop server then clean the resource sometimes if the resource locked. WTP solution also takes more time to start and terminate a web application.

• The maven support

It's a annoying to run maven based web application in WTP. Since we use same project classpath with default Eclipse JDT , so we could support maven dependency management (M2Eclipse Plug-in) easily. (Note that RunJettyRun did not required to install a maven plug-in , it's optional.)

• Less steps to setup and run

For using WTP Jetty , you have to install Jetty_WTP_Plugin , then find a runtime for it , that took your time to download a runtime and config it. You still have 3-4 steps after you install WTP plugin.But if you use RunJettyRun , there's already a built-in Jetty lib in the plug-in , simply "run" a project with Jetty by one click.

• Also support Java project.

Easy to use Jetty for every Java project but also a Dynamic Web Project , if you are writing some web widget , it's easy to test it with RJR.

Other benefits

• Working with Eclipse JDT debugging/ hot deploy

When you running RJR in debug mode , you could modify the code and apply it directly. Of course, all the breakpoint/inspector for java resource is working fine.
