I wanted to be able to run Jetty in embedded mode and use Jersey for a simple REST service. There was no single tutorial that helped me through all the steps. I came up with the following after a lot of googling and cobbling together from various sources on the net.
I started off by creating a new Maven project in Eclipse, by choosing the following archetype
java -jar <>.jar
I started off by creating a new Maven project in Eclipse, by choosing the following archetype
GroupId : org.mortbay.jetty.archetype
ArtifactId: jetty-archetype-assembler
Version: 7.5.1.v20110908
In Eclipse, (kepler) I had to add http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/archetype-catalog.xml as Remote Archetype catalog to be able to get the correct archetype.
I then changed the pom to reflect the latest versions available.
