LOL. yeah, we're in a bit of competition here, as Johan is involved in
the Tomcat plugin, and I am in JettyLauncher. Johan is right the
classpath thing, though the question is whether it is a problem for you
(it has never been for me actually). Unless your deploying on Jetty for
production (with same version etc), you should test on your target
server anyway.
The classpath problems that /can/ exist is when you have multiple
webapps deployed on the server you use for the plugin, and with Tomcat
for some libs that Tomcat uses internally. I think Tomcat's classloading
kind of sucked a long time anyway. But the dev loader (I think Johan
build that too, right Johan?) solved a lot of problems with the Tomcat
plugin.
And there are the alternative IDE's too :) NetBeans and IDEA are both
nice idea's where you don't have to install plugins for this first.

Tomcat/Jetty: I tried Tomcat and the Sysdeo plug-in first. Eventually
I got everything to work, but wasn't happy about Sysdeo's handling of
classpaths. Tried Jetty and Jetty Launcher as well. It works much
better!!! ...and yes, Jetty starts significantly faster that Tomcat.
this i find interesting .. (because i did help with that plugin) what
didn't you like about handling of classpaths?
Are you talking about the dev loader?
Because Jetty is doing it wrong. It doesn't simulate the real world..
Everything is just in one big classpath that doesn't happen in the
'real' world
(and i am bitten with that to many times when i didn't use the tomcat
plugin before when i had no problems what so ever in the developer
but deployed nothing did run (or the other way around))
for example things like: if(myObject instanceof myObject2) did return
false when it should return true!
This happens because they were loaded by different classloaders...
