Maven Jetty Plugin

Usage

Add the following to pom.xml:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>6.1.21</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Note: For Jetty 7 (which doesn’t seem to work for me) use the the groupId, jetty-maven-plugin.

To run the web application:

mvn jetty:run

Issues

`maven-jetty-plugin` does not exist.

[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] The plugin 'org.mortbay.jetty:maven-jetty-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found

I deleted the org/mortbay/jetty/maven-jetty-plugin folder from my local Maven repository. It was downloaded again and worked perfectly.
