Installing this plugin
This plugin is not shipped in any distribution. You must manually install it on an EasyEclipse distribution.
The dependent plugin Eclipse Java Development Tools must be present in the EasyEclipse distribution you use, or must be installed separately.
Getting started
Help is available for this plugin, in the Help > Help Contents menu in EasyEclipse.
To use Jetty Launcher, you must have installed the Jetty server. The plugin does not work with Jetty 6.0, so you must download the latest version of Jetty 5.1, and unzip it. You can find the link to the download below.
You can then use Jetty Launcher to start and deploy applications to Jetty:
- Create a Java project that represents a Web Application (minimally include an HTML or JSP file at the root, and possibly including WEB-INF, web.xml, and needed libraries).
- Use the Run As > Run... menu on the project, to create a new Jetty Web launch configuration. Set the Jetty home to the folder where you have unzipped Jetty, and hit Run.
- The application is now accessible on http://localhost:8080.
- To stop the server, hit the Terminate button in the Console view.
