Guys, This FUD upset me enough to actually write a response email on my otherwise splendid vacation. Tomcat 5.5.15 normal binary distro is 6.5MB, Jetty 6.0beta9 is 12.6MB. You can have a Tomcat server running in a sub 2MB footprint, again less than or close to than you can get a Jetty with JSP running. I'm not -1 on Jetty, although I'm -0 for what I think is an important reason: Jetty is not from Apache, Tomcat is, Solr is. If you want to use Jetty do so but please don't use the wrong, out-of-date, FUD-driven reasons for choosing it over Tomcat. OTOH, I'm a big +1 for using Tomcat because it's an Apache project like Solr, and would be willing to do the packaging work to get a Tomcat demo with Ant stuff when I come back at the end of the month.
