Dojo Toolkit Maven Repository

Using maven to build your project is a fantastic for managing your dependencies and avoiding having dependencies (and their dependencies) checked into your own svn. The only fly in the ointment, is projects that don't publish maven artifacts, and the Ajax dojo toolkit has been one of these. Until now that is!

jetty-test-servers
Jan and I have run across some annoying problems with test cases and test scoping within jetty recently and it has lead to some discussion on an idea that I have been kicking around for a while.

Jetty Runner
If you're looking for a fast and easy way to run your webapp, without needing to install and administer a Jetty distro, then look no further, the Jetty Runner is here! The idea of the Jetty Runner is extremely simple - run a webapp from the command line using a single jar and as much default configuration as possible:

  java -jar jetty-runner.jar my.war

Voila! Jetty will start on port 8080 and deploy the my.war webapp.
