Thanks, good to hear I was on the right track.

The second part of my question has to do with how to manage this in Eclipse 
during development. I have my java source files in

                ~/Workspace/MyProject/src

I'd like to keep the static content in

                ~/Workspace/MyProject/html

During development, I want Jetty to look in the html directory in my project 
directory, but when deploying the server, I'd like to move the static content 
into the directory where the server is deployed. Is there a "standard" way to 
do this without having to change setResourceBase() right before creating the 
release build?

Thanks,

Chris

Apologies for the novice question, but I'm embedding Jetty into my server, and 
would like recommendations for what type of Eclipse project setup is best 
suited for this purpose. The server will primarily provide REST-based web 
services but also needs to serve up some static (HTML/Javascript) content. I 
know that if I create a Dynamic Web Content project, Eclipse expects that 
static content in a WebContent folder and will automatically move this content 
when creating a WAR file, but since I'm embedding Jetty, a Dynamic Web Content 
project doesn't seem like the right way to go.

How do I use my Eclipse project setup to manage the HTML content and how do I 
make sure it ends up in the right place so the embedded Jetty server will find 
it?

Thanks,

You do not need anything special for embedded Jetty. A regular java project 
will do.
For serving static content just use a DefaultServlet, specifying html content 
root directory (which can be anywhere) with setResourceBase().
