Jetty 6 Maven Plugin now works with SiteMesh (and Equinox)

The 1.6 version of Equinox contains commented-out settings for Maven 2 Jetty Plugin. The reason these are commented-out is because this plugin didn't work with SiteMesh at the time. I checked again today, and it looks like they got it fixed. See Brett's post titled Developing with Jetty: Where Have You Been All My Life? to see why this plugin is so cool.

Using this plugin (or the JettyLauncher in Eclipse) makes it pretty damn easy to do develop Java webapps. There's no longer a deploy cycle, just save and refresh your browser. IMO, it's almost as good as using a scripting language or developing with HTML/CSS/JavaScript.

I'd love to see someone develop a TomcatLauncher, a WinstoneLauncher and Maven 2 Plugins for both. AppFuse works with Winstone 0.8.1 (a wicked fast servlet container with a good story behind its name).

In other Jetty news, Jan Bartel posted a nice tutorial today titled How To Use JOTM as the XA Transaction Manager in Jetty6.

Struts is (far and away) most popular web framework deployed on JBoss

From this month's JBoss Newsletter:

Here are the results of last month's poll that asked: What web application framework(s) do you use for your applications deployed on JBoss? (Multiple answers allowed)

  • Apache Struts - 59%
  • JavaServer Faces- 34%
  • Spring - 26%
  • Other - 13%
  • Tapestry - 6%
  • WebWork - 5%
  • Wicket - 1%

These results are certainly interesting. My guess is most "Other" frameworks are ones developed in-house.

Does this means I shouldn't ditch Struts 1.x support in AppFuse 2.0? Possibly, but since AppFuse works best for starting new applications - it makes sense to say "use the good stuff or you're on your own." ;-)
