Introduction

This howto provides detailed instructions for downloading and installing the latest version of Jetty 7. If you just want to get up and running, see the Quick Start Guide.

Prerequisites

Hardware

~7 MB of disk space for Jetty source
~7 MB for Jetty 7 binaries

Operating System

Any operating system that supports J2SE 1.5 or greater.

Environment

J2SE 1.5 or greater

Steps

Download the Binary

Download the latest Jetty core component binary from the Jetty downloads page.

Unpack the Binary

Unzip the binary; it will be extracted into a directory called jetty-distribution-VERSION. Put this directory into a convenient location. The rest of the instructions in this wiki will refer to this location as either JETTY_HOME or as $(jetty.home).

That's it! The Jetty binary is now available for you to use. You may now choose to either run Jetty or configure Jetty.

LICENSE-APACHE-2.0.TXT: license file for Jetty (Jetty 7 is dual-licensed)
LICENSE-ECLIPSE-1.0.HTML: license file for Jetty (Jetty 7 is dual-licensed)
META-INF: for packaging
README.txt: contains useful getting started information
VERSION.txt: Release information
about.html: "About This Content" page from Eclipse
bin: utility shell scripts to help run Jetty on unix systems
contexts: hot deploy contexts directory
etc: directory for Jetty configuration files
javadoc: contains the javadoc
lib: contains all the JAR files necessary to run jetty
logs: directory for request logs
notice.html: licenses information and exceptions.
resources: directory containing additional resources for classpath
start.ini: Default start arguments
start.jar: JAR which invokes jetty-7 (see also How to Run Jetty)
