Re: [jetty-users] First experiences using Jetty for unittest

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Also, aside from the jsp dependencies, none of those other things were
coming from missing dependencies in jetty itself, looks your webapp or
dependencies in your webapp, were trying to use stuff that were not
declared in your maven setup...

alternately there is a jetty-maven-plugin that would let you just
start your webapp in an instance of jetty from the cli

http://docs.codehaus.org/display/JETTY/Maven+Jetty+Plugin

there are jetty7 versions of that plugin as well.

cheers,
jesse
