Run Jetty Run
Run web applications in Eclipse using this plugin's embedded Jetty distribution
GettingStarted explains it all.
Why this plugin?
I worked on JettyLauncher before, and though I liked the functionality, it was a pain to maintain. Maintaing the plugin never had much priority with me, especially not since I joined Wicket almost three years ago. I've always felt guilty about not supporting it. I tried to get people on board to take it over, but that didn't work out unfortunately.
Something that I never liked about JettyLauncher was the fact that you had to have a separate install of the server on your machine. Why not have a plugin you can just install and let's you run web apps right away?
So, the goal of this project is to pick up where JettyLauncher dropped and provide a real easy to install and use Eclipse plugin for running web applications. I plan to keep this plugin super simple, so that the chance that I'll actually maintain it is highest :-)
Alternatives are plenty, and include the Eclipse WTP plugin - which nowadays is bundled with the JEE Eclipse distribution, or - like for instance wicket-examples does: just package the starter with your project or as a separate project. Oh, and if you use maven, there is mvn jetty:run.
Have fun!
