  • Retain complete control of your Jetty environment by using Jetty XML configurations
  • Support includes Jetty 5 and JettyPlus
  • Optional 3rd Party plug-in intergration makes it easy to profile your web applications (see documentation).

JettyLauncher documentation ships with the plugin. A static (and sometimes out of date) export of the docs is available here.

Development on this project ended

  The plugin supports only Eclipse 2.x versions and older versions of Jetty (5.x and downwards) and the JVM (1.4/ 1.5).

A new initiative, aimed to be simpler in use and maintenance (though also with less features) is Run Jetty Run.
