+This is a source checkout of the Jetty webserver.
+
+
+To build, use:
+
+ mvn clean install
+
+The jetty distribution will be built in
+
+ jetty-distribution/target/distribution
+
+The first build may take a long time as Maven downloads all the
+dependencies.
+
+The tests do a lot of stress testing, and on some machines it is
+necessary to set the file descriptor limit to greater than 2048
+for the tests to all pass successfully.
+
+Bypass tests by building with -Dmaven.test.skip=true but note
+that this will not produce some test jars that are leveraged
+in other places in the build.
