[jetty-dev] Maven Archetype for Embedded Jetty

[John Simone <jsimone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are there any Maven archetypes being distributed for creating a web 
application with an embedded instance of Jetty? I've seen the archetypes 
here: http://www.webtide.com/resources/maven.jsp, but I'm thinking of 
something that launches from a traditional main method or simple 
launcher shell script rather than the maven plugin. I think this gives a 
little more control over the launch environment and allows an 
application to easily be launched by a developer in the same way it is 
in production (Assuming one doesn't feel right about using Maven as a 
launch wrapper in production).

I put together the archetype that is referenced in this tutorial:

Could this, or something like it, be beneficial to offer as an example 
of a different way to build applications and a way to showcase how 
easily embeddable Jetty is?
