Jetty Distributions from Eclipse

A Jetty distribution based on Jetty modules from Eclipse plus dependencies that have been through the Eclipse IP process.

This distribution contains only the core functionality of a servlet server and the HTTP client. Some modules (e.g., annotations) are missing dependencies which may be discovered by using the command mvn dependency:tree within the source module. These dependencies should be placed in the lib/ext directory.

This distribution and its dependencies are provided under the terms and conditions of the Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement unless otherwise specified.

Jetty Distributions from codehaus

The core Jetty 6 distribution is available from codehaus. Hightide, a Jetty distribution that combines the Jetty@eclipse JARs with additional components (JSP, JTA, etc.), is also available. Both distributions may be downloaded from here:

This distribution may include artifacts that are not covered by the terms and conditions of the Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement. For details, please read the NOTICES file included in the distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I unpack and install Jetty?

To get started quickly:

  1. Download from codehaus
  2. Install Jetty 6 or Jetty 7
  3. Run Jetty 6 or Jetty 7

I have been using previous versions of Jetty from the Jetty 6 line, is this a drop in replacement?

No, while Jetty 7 has very much the same architecture as Jetty 6, there are packaging changes and other minor tweaks between the versions. Also, the Jetty 7 milestones are not as full featured as Jetty 6 in terms of 3rd party integrations being available by default with the distribution bundle.

Are Maven2 artifacts still available?

Yes, Jetty still supports our Maven based users to the same degree as previously. The location of artifacts has changed though.
