This is a source checkout of the Eclipse 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.
