Change Jetty Server Running Port

Jetty is one one of the best development server which I have ever used. It is easy to work with jetty server and its light weight

Here I am going to show how to change jetty server running port.  Jetty server default running port is 8080.

Port with Maven: 

1.  Command line:
         For starting jetty server we are using mvn jetty:run command. We can change the port jetty server running by passing run time argument to it.

         mvn -Djetty.port=80 jetty:run



2.  Using pom.xml

                By changing jetty plugin system properties as below, you can change the jetty running port.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jetty-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <stopPort>9966</stopPort>
        <stopKey>foo</stopKey>
        <systemProperties>
            <systemproperty>
                <name>jetty.port</name>
                <value>80</value>
            </systemproperty>
        </systemProperties>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Using this method you can run multiple instances of jetty as well.
