I have a REST web service which I created previously and deployed in Tomcat7. I wanted to deploy it on Jetty, as advised in a previous question, I made a Maven project and copied my files there and configured the dependencies and I can run Maven install from eclipse successfully.
This is my build
part in POM.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<dependentWarExcludes></dependentWarExcludes>
<webappDirectory>
WebContent
</webappDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I followed instructions here to use maven jetty plug-in (I am not sure if this is required). The question here is how can I deploy my maven project in jetty from eclipse so that i can go to http:localhost:8080/myproject for example and see my project working?
EDIT:
The way I used to run the service on Tomcat was by right click on the project and click on Run As -> Run on server (which is configured in eclipse servers)
I am using eclipse Indigo, Maven 3 and jetty 8. Also I used jersey for the web service.
