JettyLauncher

I have been waiting for Jetty6 support for a long time. This patch is
cool! Then I applied the patch and published on the site,
http://dbpowder.sourceforge.net/etc/jettylauncher6/updates/ .
It seems to run correctly. Jetty6 is much comfortable than Jetty5.

Much discussion may be required how to utilize the patch, however, there
must be many persons who are longing for Jetty6 support. If you don't mind,
please let me keep published.
When Jetty6 support is released, I'll stop publishing this.

I haven't been part of these discussions, but I'm kind of officially
retired from the project. In a few months I might finally have some time to
create a new plugin from scratch; one that packages Jetty 6 and doesn't
require further setup. Until then, I'm too busy with Wicket, my day
project, writing a book and planning my wedding. Sorry :-)

Jan, if you're interested in getting commit access, I'm sure the others
would agree that that would be a good idea.

I've had some discussions in the past weeks with the jettylauncher team
and I believe they were in the process of applying the patch. I'm not sure
of the current status - perhaps a team member could update us?

regards
Jan

Has anyone got the plugin to compile/install and work using the patch?

Hi Andrew,
I'm sending the binaries to your email, although I do not think it's a
good idea to publish these binaries in an alternate public location. Leave
the release to the official team.
I'm sure Jan is trying to make the patch into the CVS and make a public
release ASAP.
I think there is some effort coming from Webtide Jetty team, am I right
Jan?

Regards.

Hello Jan/Danilo,

If you can email me the rebuilt jar files, I'd be happy to host them on
our file server and post a link here. I have no experience rebuilding
plugins and I was hoping not to have to figure out how to do this....

Regards,
Andrew (mcgregorandrew@yahoo.ca)

Jan,

Thank you for the patch.
It's working fine with me, Eclipse 3.3, Jetty 6.1.5, JDK 1.6.

For those who could not make it work, just a few tips.
1) Checkout projects from CVS;
2) Apply the patch using Eclipse Team / Apply Patch...
3) Export plugin, do not export as JAR, export as folder;
4) regenerate runner.jar using Export...

Does anyone have an update on this? I can't get the patch to run either
and would like to use Jetty 6 in Eclipse. Thanks!

I'm having difficulty posting this to Michael, so I'm cutting and pasting
it into this bug report.

I tried also to attach a tar of my jettylauncher source, but sourceforge
won't allow me to because
of it's size. So, Michael, if you can email me from a non-sourceforge
address, I'll send you the
tar.

cheers
Jan


Michael,

I think maybe -p0 would be right, however I'm not sure
that that is the cause of your problem. Also you don't
need to put the patch file into that directory, it can
be anywhere because you can provide the full path to it
with the input redirection on the command line. Again,
I don't think that is necessarily the problem.

I simply did a cvs diff command to get the patch. It seems
it's not nearly as friendly as svn diff :-(

Can you see a .classpath file in that jettylauncher directory,
as that is the file it seems to be trying to find to patch.

Have you tried (after having first cd'ed to your jettylauncher
directory):

patch -p0 -u < /some/where/com.iw.plugins.jettylauncher.patch

Alternatively I've tar'ed up my jettylauncher directory and attached it
to this email, if you'd rather do your own diff.

cheers
Jan

When does this patch (or any other) gets incorperated?? jetty6 support
(with continuations) in combiniation with the gwt would be very useful for
eclipse!

I'll try to have a look at this this weekend and let you know if it works
for me. Someone else also suggested to include jetty6 in the jettylauncher
release which would make the configuration and maintenance a lot easier.
