Michael Osipov commented on MSITE-837:
--------------------------------------
[~hboutemy], when a future Maven version moves to Java 8, we can move to Java 8
too, thus we can use most recent Jetty. Are you just concerned about the size
of the dependencies? We need JEtty for two cases only: {{site:run}} and the
tests. Rewrinting all tests just outweights the justification for another
container, imho.
> use an embedded http server that is light and requires just Java 7

> Key: MSITE-837
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MSITE-837
> Project: Maven Site Plugin
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: site:run
> Affects Versions: 3.8.2
> Reporter: Hervé Boutemy
> Priority: Major
> Labels: up-for-grabs
>
> With {{site:run}} it is possible to view the static content as if it was
> hosted on a webserver. This issue is about looking for alternative
> implementation to do that. It should be as simple as: map the context path to
> a specific folder. Now you should be able to view it on a local port via a
> browser.
> with Jetty upgrade for security reasons in MSITE-829 (even if security
> reasons could be discussed in "mvn site:run" scenario: we're not in a
> permanent webserver, just a developer temporary one that should be limited to
> localhost requests handling), Java 8 is required when our target currently is
> Java 7
> this is perhaps the right moment to look for a light http server that would
> not require Java 8: there are many options available like
> https://syntaxcorrect.com/Java/5_Ultra_Lightweight_Http_Server_Implementations_in_Java_for_Blazing_Fast_Microservices_APIs_or_Even_Websites
> or any other idea
