Assuming you have setup M2Eclipse plugin within Eclipse correctly and your project is configured to use Maven, I've found Jetty Maven Plugin within Eclipse to be particularly useful. The beauty of this approach is that you can do your development really fast, especially if you have 3rd party dependencies. All you have to do is add the following plugin to your pom.xml:

<project>
 ...
 <build>
     <plugins>
         ...
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
        <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>8.1.8.v20121106</version>
        <configuration>
          <contextPath>/</contextPath>
        </configuration>
       </plugin>
          ...
    </plugins>
</build>
    ...
</project>

To use this plugin successfully here some additional notes on installation and usage:

Eclipse Integration

Install the following Eclipse Plugins first

Next, create a "Maven Build" Eclipse Launcher

You also need to configure "Maven Build" launcher so that you can run the Jetty Server quickly. Follow the instructions below create this launcher:

  • Right-click on your current project and select (Run As/Debug As) > Maven Build...
  • Set Goals As rhubarb:start
  • Check Resolve Workspace artifacts
  • Save

Going forward, you can simply do: (Run As/Debug As) > Maven Build, and the goal will execute.

I also use run-jetty-run for Eclipse.

I tried the Jetty plugin for NetBeans, but it didn't work.

I think Jetty for Eclipse is better than Tomcat, cause its simpler to use and configure and a fast server.

Most people I know simply write a small embedded usage of jetty for their application. It is dead simple to do and there are a number of examples in the example-jetty-embedded project in jetty git repository. It is also how most of our test cases are written, using jetty itself to test.

http://git.eclipse.org/c/jetty/org.eclipse.jetty.project.git/tree/example-jetty-embedded

If your using maven then the jetty-maven-plugin is a pretty simple way of testing and works with the eclipse plugin Webby which streamlines much of the pain and suffered that is called WTP.

https://docs.sonatype.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Integration+with+Maven+WAR+Plugin

There is also a Jetty WTP plugin that many people use successfully.
