07 - Using the Jetty Plugin

There are some Maven plugins that are full Servlet containers. We'll look at an example: the Jetty plugin, and we'll see how it makes developing web applications easier.

Open pom.xml

<build>

<plugins>

<plugin>

<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groudId>

<artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>

<version>6.1.10</version>

<configuration>

                <scanIntervalSeconds>5</scanIntervalSeconds> -> It checks for every 5 sec either any change in jsp or class files.

</configuration>

</plugin>

</plugins>

</build>

Now run below command

mvn jetty:run -> First maven download the plugin and then run

http://localhost:8080/mywebapp -> access this browser you will see “Hello World”
