I don’t use eclipse and would like to setup an ant/ivy build script for web app development. The build script can only assume that the jdk/ant are installed on the system, the rest must be downloaded automatically.

Everything must be done trough ant targets/tasks, so I would probably have a ‘debug’ target tha would start jetty in embedded mode and configure it to use my build directory as the web app root.

How can I setup ant/ivy to automatically download a jetty webserver, and start debugging my web app with it?

    1. To use IVY you need an ivy lib. You could download it with the <get /> task, but then you could just use <get /> for the jetty libs as well.
    2. Download the libs for jetty and put them into a local folder (use ivys inline-retrieve or the get-task)
    3. Use the <java /> Task to run/configure the Jetty-Server. Use <jvmargs> attribute to set Debugging. or use the jetty-ant-plugin
