Deploys an exploded web application to an embedded Jetty web container. Does not require that the web application be assembled into a war, saving time during the development cycle.
Once started, the web container can be configured to run continuously, scanning for changes in the project and automatically performing a hot redeploy when necessary. This allows the developer to concentrate on coding changes to the project using their IDE of choice and have those changes immediately and transparently reflected in the running web container, eliminating development time that is wasted on rebuilding, reassembling and redeploying.
