JettyConsole Maven Plugin

Embeds Jetty in your war file, making it runnable with java -jar myapp.war

How to create your standalone war

Add the following configuration to your Maven webapp pom.xml:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.simplericity.jettyconsole</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-console-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${jettyconsole.version}</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>createconsole</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <additionalDependencies>
                    <additionalDependency>
                        <artifactId>jetty-console-jsp-plugin</artifactId>
                    </additionalDependency>
                    <additionalDependency>
                        <artifactId>jetty-console-startstop-plugin</artifactId>
                    </additionalDependency>
                </additionalDependencies>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

This should output a jetty-console version in target/artifactId-version-jetty-console.war, including plugins for JSP support, and for creating Unix start/stop service scripts for your service (see plugins below)
