About:
Jetty Runner is a standalone executable JAR that allows you to run web applications without installing the full Jetty distribution. It provides a simple command-line interface to deploy WAR files directly, making it ideal for quick testing and lightweight deployments. This tool eliminates the need for complex server configuration while still leveraging the full power of the Jetty webserver.
Key Features:
  • Standalone executable JAR - no installation required
  • Simple command-line deployment of WAR files
  • Embedded server capabilities for Java applications
  • Lightweight alternative to full Jetty distribution
Use Cases:
  • Quick testing of web applications during development
  • Lightweight production deployment of single applications
  • Embedded web server for Java-based applications
Alternatives:
  • Tomcat Runner – Apache Tomcat's equivalent provides similar functionality but with different configuration syntax and deployment model
  • Spring Boot Embedded Server – More tightly integrated with Spring ecosystem but requires Spring framework adoption
