At some point, we'd like to extend the jetty plugin so that it can deploy the webapp to an installed jetty instance on the local machine (and ultimately on a remote machine). It would be nice to do the same for the tomcat plugin. There's probably some common stuff we could extract from both plugins to make it easier to do this (and for whatever web container plugins come along in the future). -- Adam Murdoch Gradle Co-founder http://www.gradle.org VP of Engineering, Gradleware Inc. - Gradle Training, Support, Consulting http://www.gradleware.com
