Sorry for what maybe an simple question, but we recently started using Jetty Plus (JP) and I can no longer start or stop the server via Eclipse. To start up JP we use a shell file. The file calls the following:
java -DSTART=extra/etc/start-plus.config -jar start.jar etc/jetty.xml

I tried to put the following into the Optional Parameters box -DSTART=extra/etc/start-plus.config -jar but all I got were errors.

any help would be greatly appreciated

I tried to put the following into the Optional Parameters box -DSTART=extra/etc/start-plus.config -jar but all I got were errors.

You did the right thing, but you didn’t adjust your paths, they are still relative and considering MyEclipse launches JP from a different directory, they don’t make sense. Try this:

java -DSTART=<absolute dir here>/extra/etc/start-plus.config -jar <absolute dir here>/start.jar <absolute dir here>/etc/jetty.xml

Replacing the “<absolute dir here>” with the full path to that file.

Thanks. I couldn’t get your version to work. However someone else told me I had to put the -DSTART in the JDK parameter field under Jetty 5. So I did the following:
-DSTART=extra/etc/start-plus.config
and start right up.
Thanks again for the help!.
