To run the project with maven and Jetty simply type the following on the command line:

mvn clean compile package jetty:run

After the deployment you can access the project with your browser at http://localhost:8080

When running with another container than Jetty, you have to deploy the war-file manually. You can generate the war-file by typing on the command line:

mvn clean compile package

Now you will find the war-file in the target directory of the project.
