Accept the license and click on Finish button. Select the base directory where you wish install the Jetty. In this example we have selected D:\Servers\jetty-distribution-7.2.x and the download will place the stable Jetty v7 server in this folder.

Once you have selected a folder, download is processed. You have an error because the wizard check that start.jar exist in the D:\Server\jetty-distribution-7.2.x (this JAR doesn't exist because the download  is not finished).

  2. Jetty-wtp-create1.jpg


  3. In the Wizards list box, scroll down to select Server -> Server.
  4. Click Next. The Define a New Server dialog box opens.

  6. In the Select the server type field, scroll down to select Jetty -> Jetty 7.x or Jetty 8.x Server. This document uses the Jetty 7.x Server.
  7. Click Next. The Jetty Server dialog box opens.

  9. To specify the installation directory for Jetty, use the Browse button. Navigate to a local installation of jetty7 or jetty8 and click select.

  10. Click Next. The Add and Remove dialog boxopens.

  11. Jetty-wtp-create7.jpg


    Here you can select an existing Dynamic Web project from your workspace. In this example, there are no WTP Dynamic WebProjects.


  12. Click Finish.


  • A Server Project is created in the workspace.
  • if you go to WTP Server View , you see the option to launch Jetty v7.0 Server at localhost, which you can use to start/stop/debug the installed Jetty server.


Jetty-wtp-create8.jpg


The Servers folder includes the Jetty v7.0 Server at localhost-config folder, which contains:

  • start.ini from the Jetty install (D:\Servers\jetty-distribution-7.2.x).
  • start.config from the JAR start.jar from the Jetty install. Notice that Server/start.config is not the same as Jetty install/start.jar. Jetty Home is not the Jetty Install server but a WTP folder (created in the .metadata of your workspace).
  • the jetty*.xml files, which are declared in the original start.ini. Jetty*.xml files are preprocessed too to transform <Property to <SystemProperty.
  • webdefault.xml is modified to avoid locking HTML files under Windows when Jetty is started and HTML files are modified (published) with the following option:


  <init-param>
    <param-name>useFileMappedBuffer</param-name>
    <param-value>false</param-value>
  </init-param>

When the Jetty server is called it uses:

  • -Djetty.home, which is the WTP folder.
  • -Dinstall.jetty.home, which is the Jetty install folder.
