Really, once you get the basics of the jetty config file, it's just faster and easier to run jetty directly rather than messing around with the eclipse plugin. You don't have to worry about the plugin supporting your jetty version or settings. When you want to upgrade, you just update your user library to contain the new jetty version. > Embedded jetty sounds very tempting. I am not sure what the deployment > options on Windows are.

Basically, you build a jar file instead of a war/ear file, then you just run it with java -jar myapp.jar. You'd probably want to set an environment variable to point at your config file or something along those lines.
