The Eclipse Web Standard Tools project extends the Eclipse platform with many useful tools for building and testing web applications.
Webtide has made available a plugin which allows developers to use Jetty within the WST environment.
A Jetty instance can be controlled (ie stopped and started) using the standard Eclipse menu options. Additionally, Eclipse-based webapps can also smoothly be deployed, undeployed and automatically hot redeployed to Jetty.
The plugin is available at this url:

There are also detailed instructions on how to download and install it here:

I can’t get it working properly. Is there a forum for users? In particular, I usually ahve to restart the server twice for my changes to take.
Is there any way to modify the start config? It is not picking up the one in etc/start.config.
The start.config file that jetty picks up by default is the one inside the start.jar.

I don’t think there’s currently a way of passing extra args to the plugin.
