Jetty server for Windows

Question

Can the Jetty server run on Windows-based environments. If there is a Windows installable, can someone please point me to it?

Solution 1

I found a good tutorial and the quick start documentation on the installation of Jetty in a windows environment. It's not simply an installer, but you merely unzip the files into a folder and run the command:

java -jar start.jar

in the folder where you unzipped it to start the server.

Solution 2

Jetty downloads

Reference: Jetty Quick Start

Solution 3

Updated:

1 – Downloading

You can download Jetty from two sources: Eclipse or Codehaus.

http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/
http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/downloads.php

2 - Simply uncompress the file to a directory.

3 – Running Jetty

Open a terminal. Go to the Jetty installation directory. Enter the following command:

$ java -jar start.jar

Now open a browser and go to localhost to check if Jetty was installed sucessfully:

http://localhost:8080/
