Running Jetty - Really like the way it works

• Running Jetty
• java - Maven jetty plugin - automatic reload using a multi-module project - Stack Overflow

Very useful trick.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>7.4.2.v20110526</version>


    <configuration>
        <scanIntervalSeconds>3</scanIntervalSeconds>
        <webAppConfig>
            <contextPath>/${project.name}</contextPath>
            <extraClasspath>target/classes;../services/target/classes;../util/target/classes</extraClasspath>
        </webAppConfig>
        <scanTargets>
            <scanTarget>target/classes</scanTarget>
            <scanTarget>../services/target/classes</scanTarget>
            <scanTarget>../util/target/classes</scanTarget>
        </scanTargets>
    </configuration>

</plugin>

This might be more commonly useful:

<plugin>
 <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
 <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>8.1.16.v20140903</version>
 <configuration>
  <scanIntervalSeconds>3</scanIntervalSeconds>
  <webAppConfig>
   <contextPath>/</contextPath>
   <extraClasspath>target/classes</extraClasspath>
  </webAppConfig>
  <scanTargets>
   <scanTarget>target/classes</scanTarget>
  </scanTargets>
 </configuration>
</plugin>
