Run Jetty RunRun web applications in Eclipse using this plugin's embedded Jetty distribution

GettingStarted explains it all. Please see FutureDirectionsDiscussion to participate in the evolution of Run Jetty Run.

Why this plugin?I (Eelco) 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!

I'm sorry but I think I messed up the first build; Eclipse won't find updates on the 1.0.0. You'll have to manually de-install 1.0.0 and install 1.0.1.
