Hi All I am trying to embed jetty into a war file, so that the war file becomes executable. java -jar mywar.war will start jetty on port 8080. ie, Main-Class will start Jetty programmatically.
To achieve this I have added configuration section for war plugin, <build> <finalName>testwar</finalName> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <mainClass>TestMain</mainClass> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build> This results in correct MANIFEST.MF file, with the following entry Main-Class : TestMain Howvever, TestMain class is coped to WEB-INF/classes directory To make the war executable, the TestMain should be at the root level of war file. The war plugin documentation doesn't provide enough information how to configure the plugin, to copy "Main-Class" to root level. Have anyone come across this issue? Thanks Nambi
