Installing

Well, that's easy. Simply use Eclipse's update manager (Help -> Updates -> Find and install... -> Search for new features to install) to add a remote site and point it to http://run-jetty-run.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite. Click finish, select the plugin and finish again. Done.

Also you could use marketplace client to search RunJettyRun.

Using

1.Quick start

i.right click on the project ii.select "debug as" iii.click "Run Jetty"

System will build with a default run configuration. (As same as you new a run configuration manually.)

2.Run Configuration for more control and more details

The plugin provides a launch configuration. It will only work with Java projects (Scala and other Java VM languages should work as well if they have a Java nature) with a web application in them (i.e. the project has a folder that is the root of the web application, and in that folder is a WEB-INF folder containing a web.xml file). You can run such projects with Jetty using the launch configuration this plugin provides.

Here is a screen shot of the Jetty tab in the launch dialog:

These options are required:

We have a useful default setting for you, so usually you don't have to config it by default.

• Project (must be a Java Project, default is the selected one.)
• Web application directory (inside the Project,default will find the folder which contains "WEB-INF" )
• Context (can just be "/", default is the project name)
• A web server port , default is 8080.

If SSL is enabled, the options below are also required:

• HTTPS port , default is 8443.
• Keystore file (typically .keystore in the user's home directory)
• The keystore password (used to check the integrity of the keystore)
• The key password (required to unlock the key)

For all functionality, please reference to RunJettyRun Configurations .

For the classpath tab , you could find more detail in Classpath.

If you need more control than Run Jetty Run provides, you have choices:

• Post a new issue directly to let us know.
• Use another plug-in that provides you with more control
• Write your own main method that starts Jetty (see the Bootstrap class in Run Jetty Run, or the various projects of that are part of the Wicket family.
• Extend Run Jetty Run, and feed your changes back so that others can benefit

Have fun with it!
