Do you occasionally need to deploy WAR files, but hate setting up Tomcat? Then nomcat is for you!
nomcat is a thin wrapper around the embedded Jetty server that just serves WAR files and nothing else.
You need Java 6 (JDK). Then:
$ git clone https://github.com/adamcath/nomcat.git
$ cd DIR_WITH_WAR_FILES
$ NOMCAT_DIR/nomcat
Nomcat: Serving test1.war at /test1
Nomcat: Serving test2.war at /test2
##############################
# Server up on port 10080!
##############################
nomcat searches in ".", "./dist", and "./wars" for files ending in .war, then serve them up.
Want to skip searching and serve a few specific war files?
$ nomcat hippo.war
Start on a different port?
$ sudo nomcat -p 80
...

# Server up on port 80!

Get full usage:
$ nomcat -h
